Unsuported ram... Supported?

[Reddox]

Hi, I'm building a PC with a B660M-A Wifi from MSI.

When I try to install my CMK32GX4M2D3000C16 RAM, it only works with one of the 2 sticks. I guess if it wasnt supported none of them would work...

Do I have to change my ram ?

 

Intel Core I5 12400F

GTX 1660

Well it depends on what you mean by supported. Generally if the ram is the correct version as in ddr4 for a board that is compatible with ddr4 then it should be able to run in basically most systems just not necessarily at the speeds advertised by the ram.

Hi, what I meant is that as soon as I put my second stick in, I can't boot anymore, no matter the sitck I put in

Well what speed is the ram running at? Sometimes a ram speed that is stable with on stick isn't at two sticks. Also I would check both sticks to make sure you can boot the system with both sticks individually as it could be that one od the sticks is dead so when you put it in the system won't boot.

Hi, its a 3000Mghz combo. Both sticks work. I would try to ajust in bios, but apparently MSI decided that I can't enter it (boot screens appears for .5s before lunching into windows)

If you are able to get into bios, try and adjust the ram speed to 2933 instead of 3000. I guess I should also ask if it is actually running at 3000. Have you enabled XMP?

Was enabled by default, I'm gonna try and disable it, see if anything works

Disabling XMP didn't solve the problem, neither did the ram speed change, any onther ideas ?

You can try and clear the CMOS. Take out the battery on the motherboard and see if your board has a clear CMOS jumper. Should just be two pins you can short. Make sure to unplug the computer first. If youd dont have a jumper you can just hold the power button down with the battery out and the computer unplugged.

Unfortunetly, that didnt work either...
