[saif961]

the description did not mention that the ram stick would work with intel all it said was it supported ryzen does that mean it doesnt support intel? the rams are Corsair CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 1.35V for AMD Ryzen Black

Honestly I am not sure, but I think it will work. Worst case is you'll have to send em back and get some others I guess.

Yup, it's just marketing. I have "special for AMD" RAM in my Intel SFF build as well and it works just like RAM does.

Kit should work fine with your build.  The AMD platform tends to be more selective about RAM, particularly at high speeds, and these kits are tested to be compatible with it.

did you use the right slots? (2 and 4)

[GenericFanboy]

Before you return it, Try both sticks seperately. May be that 1 stick is faulty. There is no such thing as ram made just for amd. Ram is ram.

Which motherboard model are you using in your build?  Have you tried one module at a time?

 

Also, do you have the serial number off the side of the modules?

oh loool i was supposed to flip it the other side now it works

? guessing you mean slots 2 and 4 instead of 1 and 3, or vice versa?

You don't want 2 ram sticks slotted next to eachother
