RAM Adding Help! need master On ram and mobo here

[maniey]

hey guys..i was using asrcok 990fx extreme 3 mobo..now i used :

 

1x2gb kingston 1333 ram

1x4gb kingston 1333 ram

 

now i want add my extra ram 1x2gb corsair 1333 ram on another slot..but its not working..

 

btw my mobo have 4 slot ram which is ddr3 a1 a2 b1 b2..

 

now my ram installed at ddr3 a2 and ddr b2 as recommended to activate dual channel system..now what should i do if i want add extra ram as mention.??

sorry for noob english!

It's generally recomended to get the same brand, type, capacity and clock speed RAM sticks as you already have when upgrading to prevent RAM issues.

I agree with Vojta.

 

But if you want to try to mix RAM, first make sure all the ram modules have the same latency. Capacity and clock speed may vary, but latency must be the same. So if one is CL 10, the others must be too.

 

Second, when you've made sure the latency is the matching, go into your BIOS and search for any setting that will increase tolerance in RAM differences. This is found in different places on different mother boards, and some boards may even not have such an option.

 

Please post a picture of the labels of all the RAM-modules you have so we can see and read the specific specs of the modules.

What others mentioned. It sometimes just don't play nice. If you really want to upgrade, better look for a same 4 GB stick and take out the 2 GB one.

I don't understand this. You ask about issues with low-end ram modules, but your profile tells that are rocking a 8320 BE and 8gb of Corsair RAM. So how exactly are you having an issue with the RAM?

 

 

With a system like yours, I can't really see how you would have cheaped out on the RAM like that. And if you infact are only rocking 3 GB, you should think of upgrading to 2x4gb 1600 mhz DDR3 RAM. Those are very cheap if you buy them second hand as people are now upgrading to DDR4 and want to get rid of their old DDR3.

guys i really dont know much about ram..well the 2 gb stick is 9-9-9-24..i dont know what is it.back then i can use those 2x2 gb corsair stick mix with 4gb kingston because same speed which are 1333mhz...suddenly i cant start my pc might be because of ram..bcos its sometime my pc  will on if i remove or swapping slot my ram..i really confuse over here!! help me guys..

Please post close-up images of all the ram-labels so we can see the specs.

If it has turned on before, it will again if you put things back exactly like they were before. Don't worry. =)

[Jarsky]

remove all the ram, and try the '1x2gb corsair 1333 ram ' in one of the ram slots you know currently works.

If it doesnt turn on, either theres a problem with that memory module, or its not compatible with your motherboard.

 

Edit: Also make sure you have no XMPP profiles loaded.

For the sake of teaching this person (and the fact that I also do not know): What is and XMPP profile and where to check for whether or not it is enabled/loaded?

guys here the detail about my ram..sunddenly its happen as the picture show..became 1 channel only

XMP Profile (XMPP) is eXtreme Memory Performance Profile.

It's a setting in modern Motherboards UEFI (BIOS).

 

Essentially its a Profile that is programmed onto the memory module itself, with the timings etc...for its max speed - which will allow it to run at its max rated frequency and lowest timing (essentially the speed its advertised as) regardless of if the motherboard has to tweak the vDIMM voltages etc...to obtain that speed.

 

Given hes putting a mismatched module in, while it *should* just disable, its also worth switching it off if hes turned it on - incase of some sort of logic error.

so u refer to my picture? could u explain or teach me something..i realy confuse here

[Jarsky]

I just realised it might be called something different on an AMD motherboard (XMP is the Intel name), a quick google says it might be called DOCP in the AMD BIOS.

So your RAM are both CL 9-9-9-X, so latency is not the issue here.

 

What I do not understand is that Windows recognizes both your sticks, and tells you have totally 6 gb of RAM, But can only use 2 giga bytes (the corsair RAM).

 

Jarsky is talking about settings in your BIOS. You will get there by rebooting your computer, and as soon as it starts you need to hit the correct key to get there. It will briefley tell you which key to press. If windows start to load, you have gone too far, and you need to reboot again.

 

There, under advanced settings, you should be able to find DOCP-settings.

now my pc hard to turn on..even i swapping my ram or remove..i now so confuse..its 12 am already..reply via android

[maniey]

now im stuvk at my monitor blinking led back screen whil3 my pc is on..any trick guys help me..its aoways happen when i took out the plug or removing ram

[maniey]

guys help me..its now turned on my pc..but after i i swapping slot almost 10 times even the same slot..suddenly its work sometimes swapping not work too..i do use eraser too to clean ram pin feet..sorry really broken english..i hope u guys understand.! its could probably gpu? becos when my screen is black (led flashing) i can toggle my caps lock..its

It is the memory that is not working, and since the memory fails, you won't be able to post. It is not the GPU, don't worry.

 

But for now, try only using the Kingston 4GB in the A2 slot. Do NOT use both. If Kingston doesn't work, then only use Corsair. But 2GB might be too little to load windows though...

 

You seem to suffer from severe memory mis-match. I highly recommend you to go and buy some cheap 8GB Ram (2x4GB). When you buy them in pairs, they will be factory-tested to work with each other.

dear mortis..i used to try both single stick kingston and corsair alone..but did not work..even i try diferennt slot.,.now my pc on but i use mix 6gb ram..but sometimes did not work..ireally crazy rite now..when i change the ram.. should i remove power cord? or do you have trick for resetting bios..or something...

[maniey]

1 more..now my pc working well but if i remove the ram or i just took plug out..my pc back to black screen _(led flashing)

Just to clarify because I might miss read this: you do turn off the PC when swapping/removing stuff right?

Also you should always try 2 times atleast after booting with new config.

Never occurred to me to ask this question.... Sorry, Gonio... 0.o
