Posted October 19, 2020 Hello. I just bought new ram (corsair vengeance 3200mhz 2x8gb) and attempted to add it to my old ram (vengeance led 2666mhz 2x8gb) but my pc wouldn't boot. So I took the new ram out and used my pc as normal with the old ram. I them tried to put in just the new ram and that failed to boot, then tried my old ram again and then that even failed to boot. My mb (asus prime z370) has a light next to "dram" and I even tried using the "memok" button on both sets of ram, but nothing is successful. The led of the old ram does light up but won't work.

How do you put the ram in? Do you put them right next to eachother or skip one slot? Because I think you need to put them in that way. Also you shouldn't really mix different ram speeds because you never know how your PC is going to react. Jus use the new 3200mhz ram. Also don't forget to enable XMP in order for the 3200mhz to be overclocked. Otherwhise it will only run at 2133mhz. Which was one of my mistakes and I had like 40fps less in some games. PM or DM me if you have any questions about audio. ▼My PC specs & audio gear▼ CPU > Intel core i7 14700K, GPU > RTX 4070 ProArt, RAM > Corsair Vengeance DDR5 2x16gb 5600mhz, Motherboard > Asus ROG Strix B760-F, Storage > 1TB M.2 & 500GB M.2 Kingston, Cooling > H150i Elite, PSU > MSI A850GL ▼Current Audio Setup▼ Beyerdynamic Tygr 300 R w/ Dekoni Velour as daily driver Soundblaster AE-9 Soundcard AKG P420 Mic ▼Other peripherals▼ Keyboard > SteelSeries Apex Pro Mouse > Steelseries Aerox 3 wireless Mousepad > Pulsar ParaSpeed XXL VR > Valve index kit Read this post if you want a "gaming" headset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old ram I had next to each other which worked, but I tried skipping a slot and still the same issue. And how would I enable XMP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You enable that in the bios which is either called XMP or something else in asus mobos.

Posted October 19, 2020 Try putting in the ram in A2 and B2 slots. Which is the second and last slot.
