Really wierd issue thats bothering me, i recently purchased a Vengeance pro rgb 3200mhz 2x8 kit. When i install the kit on the first channel A1 - B1. The pc fails to boot with XMP. When i put the kit on Channel A2-B2 the pc boots fine with XMP on, everything fine, can pass prime95 ram stress with no sweat. Why can't i boot on the first channel with this kit? is there something wrong with MB? My old kit with 2x8 3000mhz from corsair boots fine on the first channel.
Specs: 8700K @4.8 on a Asrock Z370 Gaming K6, latest bios. tried cmos and issue still persists, if i lower the frequency to 3000mhz the pc boots fine on first channel. Is there any downside to using the second channel?
