Hello,
I recently bought a new set of 2 x 4gb RAM and have been unable to get it to work with my current setup.
Specs:
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme4
GPU: GTX 1070
CPU: Intel 4670k @ 4.2ghz
Old RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP 2 x 4gb (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233186)
New RAM: Patriot Viper 3 2 x 4gb (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LTJJM2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
When I try to boot with the new RAM and old RAM seated together, I fail the post with error 53 (Memory or mobo error). I can boot properly if I use either the new RAM or old RAM, but not both.
I confirmed that all 4 channels work on my motherboard independently. It also appears that the timing and speed specifications for the RAM matches. What gives?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Turns out the model of Corsair Vengeance LP I have is actually timed at 11-11-11-30 rather than 9-9-9-24. I imagine that this explains the issues I'm having. Is it still possible to use the RAM together?
EDIT 2: I set the clock timings in my bios to match the slower RAM (11-11-11-30) and upped the voltage to 1.6v. Problem solved!
