Eidair, I am trying to help and I am asking him not you so please help me help him. The Memory is NOT on the list. What else can be clearer.

Btw did you try 2 sticks in and set the bios to 1T ? That is if you can of course. I'm thinking of some weird one in a trillion possibility that the memory has a problem and wont work on 2T whit 2 sticks in.

Anyway the RMA is the best for now.

2T is relaxed command timing which actually reduces the strain on ram and memory controller, so this is possible but not likely

Well yeah but as you can clearly see this is not something in the "usual problems/fix/solution". It's more out of curiosity if by some mystical universal forces he is in that situation, nothing more.

Sometimes memory is just not compatable with some boards. Poop happens. I had G.Skills new Tridents not work on a Gigabyte board. Who would have thunk? Popped in some kingston Hyper X and Bingo.

All is fixed now, memory instantly boot into dual channel no problems. I switched from my h50 to the hyper212+ (kinda regret that = lots of noise lol) umm only problem i had was with the AHCI or what ever disabled that and put it into IDE. all in all intel is finally starting to behave for me.

If you was on about my post i said slots 1 and 3 and seeing as i have the same mobo as the op i think i should know if slot 1 and 3 works with dual channel mode and it does.

I concluded that it can't be a short because it was on the mobo box and the anti static bag. so I said F it... im going to RMA
Just so you know some anti static bags can conduct electricity. I verified this years ago. Note, not all do.
the point of the antistatic bag is to conduct any incoming electricity away from the component inside. So it gets redirected across the bag.

I know he's "fixed" the problem. I'm just saying, for future reference that the bags are conductive.
