New CPU now RAM slots not working.

brandonmills765 · Aug 2, 2018

I had an i5 - 2400 it worked perfectly in my Intel DQ67SW motherboard with 1 stick of ddr3 hyperX Fury 8gb ram. I could boot it up fine, go onto windows and everything was normal. Until I got a new CPU - i7 3770k I've already updated to latest bios so it should support it. But when I put the CPU in the socket (In the face of the arrow obviously) wait btw I've been looking on these forums for so long and I see alot of people are saying are your pins bent. Mine are definitely not because I can put my old i5 in and the ram would work with it so that's not the problem. Anyway so I put the new i7 in boot it up only to hear 3 beeps (memory failure) and a no signal (blue screen) on my monitor. Please help me as I have been looking on your forums forever and I've finally posted my own. Please help!

If the setup works with old CPU but gives memory error with new one this means new CPU is faulty. The reason you got memory error is because memory controller is on CPU and clearly it is not working.

I am not finding that processor on the MB support list.

Yeah intel says the DQ67SW board doesn't support 3rd gen CPUs.....oh well time to get a new Motherboard.

yeah, I was going to mention that but you figured it out... lol

welp, time for a NEW mobo! w00t,

brandonmills765 · Aug 2, 2018

I found a new Mobo. This should work with my i7 3770k, Cooler Master Hyper TX3i CPU Cooler, GTX 1050 Ti, 8gb DDR3 HYPERX Fury, 600W ThermalTake Power supply. BTW the New motherboard is - INTEL DQ77CP... The socket is LGA 1155 and it says it supports 3rd gen Processors!! So Yay!! Just to check with you guys is all this compatible I've already had to buy 2 Mobo's because of stupid compatibility...please check with me. Thanks

I think you will be ok. You know that mobo is discontinued, right?

Yep....that MB should do it.

The memory supported is>>>>Dual DDR3 1333/1600

Peter Martin :

What's the disadvantages of having a discontinued Mobo?

jay32267 :

Thank you! How can I find my memory clock?

jay32267 · Aug 2, 2018

You can monitor the memory clock if you want....but I wouldn't be concerned about it.

If you use 1600 MHz memory it should go to 1600 MHz.
If you use 1333 MHz memory it should go to 1333 MHz.

As far as the discontinued board. Most of the boards I'm using are discontinued. I don't see an issue.

Peter Martin · Aug 2, 2018

discontinued boards mean not much to upgrade, that's about it.

jay32267 :

Ok good, but how can I tell if my RAM will support motherboard?

Peter Martin · Aug 2, 2018

I already gave you the specs, it's right in there
