CPU - Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
RAM - G.Skill 16GB (Dual Channel Kit) 3200MHz DDR4 Trident Z Desktop Memory F4-3200C16D-16GTZB
MB - Gigabyte GA-Z270-HD3P
PSU - Corsair VS450
GPU - Zotac - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB OC Edition Video Card
SSD - Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
HDD - Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

The issue is that the 2 ram sticks are not working together. Any 1 stick is working individually. I have tried XMP, without XMP. Bios is latest F7

I am out of options now. Still can't figure out what the issue is ?

Memory with chips on one side of the module is single sided.

That picture of the slot order, the top row going from right to left shows 1 & 2.

Or you can use 3 & 4 but for obvious reasons with your heatsink those can't be used.

Older boards used to have the first dimm under the heatsink. Your board is reversed. So outward to in toward cpu. The most outer dimm is your first slot, then the 3rd slot in is where the second stick goes.

I am using 1st and 3rd.
Just found out that if I put only 1 ram in 3rd slot. It starts beeping.
I can't test it on 4th slot due to cpu cooler.

Solts 1 and 2 worked. But they aren't grey. One is grey and 2nd is black.
Also, I didn't enable the XMP. They are running at 2133.

The two grey slots are 1 & 2, the black slots are 3 & 4. For dual channel they must be in 1 2, or 3 4. Having them in a grey or black would mean the two sticks are in single channel.
