Chinese Kllisre Ram does not work on my motherboard

[Sharqo]

Hello,

So i bought this Kllisre ram stick , it's specs are "PC3-10600U-CL9 8GB DDR3 1333" because I thought it would work on my computer and branding it as "AMD only ram" is dumb. 

But when i put it inside my machine , it just doesn't boot.

So , my motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2V, and the CPU is a G3260 (was making previsions about upgrading the hardware so I began with the RAM.

I tried putting the old ram sticks inside and fiddling with the bios to make the frequencies go along with this stick of ram but it didn't work.

Sounds like you either got DOA sticks, or got bamboozled and swindled.

well I dont know what else there is to do? Aliexpress seller probably branded "AMD ram" for a reason, or you got scammed.

You purchased AMD only Chinese RAM and expect it to work on your intel machine? Why did you have that expectation? 

[Sharqo]

I mean , why the fuck would you brand RAM as AMD or Intel compatible , prob got scammed , going to return it , it'll be a pain in the ass , at least it wasn't expensive

It’s all good if you can return it. It probably does work on some AMD mobos though. I’m guessing Chinese ram isn’t on the official compatibility list...

AFAIK, "AMD Only" RAM was a legit thing...for DDR2. AMD's memory controller worked a little differently than Intel's IIRC. Could have spilled over into DDR3.

 

The easiest answer would be to return it as DOA. If that's not an option, find someone with an AM3, AM3+, FM2 or FM2+ board (maybe FM1?) and test it with their AMD CPU.

Thanks for the tip but , where i live i don't know people with AM3 boards , I live in a small town and I'm notorious for being the tech savvy of that place so .. I'll just return it that's not a problem. I'll buy true ram the next time I want to purchase something

It could, but that's weird , because i have an old 775 socket PC that supports DDR3 and I had to use low density memory because I ran into issues. I'm just going to buy second hand RAM on my local , baguette Craigslist called Leboncoin

Thank you all for your help , i'll just return it asap
