Hey guys, I just put together this new computer.. well turns out that I can only use 2 stick (of my corsair XMS 5400C Pro ram) on this board... if I put in 4 the system hang during boot...

Looked up the QVL but was wondering if any of you are using other DIMMS with succes...

Regards,

Bumping up the RAM voltage in BIOS for 4 DIMMS. Worked for me with the A8N32-SLI.

I'm by no mean adept at overclocking so I will need more info if I am to take this route...

What voltage are safe which are not etc...

And if I buy new sticks I would prefer 1 gig sticks...

I have that RAM and you will need to go into the BIOS. Change the voltage to 1.9 and give it a try. IF that does not work then try 2.0. That should solve your problem.

damn u to hell :)

I ended up having to buy 2x 2GB sticks as my old memory wouldn't work..I could get 3gigs working but it takes a performance hit..
