PC will not post with the RAM installed in B channel

Hi there, sorry new here. I wanted to populate all the RAM slots and came to the stupid conclusion that the B channel does not work at all. I updated the bios, I reseated the CPU, checked no bent pins, tried with the CPU cooler a little loose, took out all the case peripherals, checked all the PSU cables, nothing. The RAM sticks all 4 work in the A channel, tested them before. The only thing that I have not connected are the extra 4 pins from the PSU to the CPU as I don't have the cable for it.

 

Here are my components: 

 

1. Motherboard: Gigabyte Z690 GAMING X D5, Socket 1700

2. Intel® Core™ i5-12400F Alder Lake, 2.5GHz, 18MB with stock cooler

3. 4x Kingston FURY Beast, 16GB DDR5, 5200MHz CL40

4. Gigabyte GP-P750GM, 80 PLUS® Gold, 750W

5. Solid state drive (SSD) Samsung 970 EVO Plus, 500GB, NVMe, M.2.

6. ASUS Radeon™ RX 6750 XT OC, 12GB GDDR6, 192-bit

 

Thank you very much!

The D4 version of that motherboard is a DDR4 only motherboard that's what the D4 stands for.

So if you really do have DDR5 Ram I don't know how any of it is working at all.

Unless it's not the D4 motherboard that you have?

It's the DDR5 Gaming X - the D4 has "DDR4" after "Gaming X" next to the RAM, and also has a slightly different SMD configuration - likely due to power management for the DIMMs being moved onto the sticks for DDR5.

 

This is the D4 board:

Sorry, I copied the wrong one, it is DDR5 not 4, I will update the post
