Well, in fact I did say that old and new memory both act exactly the same. When I use old memory sticks - they work if they are in the same channel, but if one is in A and another one in B - only 4gb shows up. There is absolutely no difference in old and new memory handling by the board. Which...

Well, there really is NO reasons for me to lie here))) I want to make my PC work as expected. I've tried each module individually in slot 1, and 1 module in each of the slots - these always work with old and new memory. And if I keep them to one channel - everything works perfectly in any...

Wish it was an easy mystery. Unfortunately in my case computer works with either of the 4 sticks. I've tried it before, and retested now just to be triple sure. All 4 work individually and in pair, and show proper amount of ram, unless they are in 2 channels. POST fail means PC wouldn't start...

Yes, it explicitly states the 32GB support. But since it doesn't see a tiny 8Gb, if its spread over 2 channels - this is obviously not right... 2 dimms 4Gb each should not be a strain on any motherboard. And since it support 16Gb with no issues, as long as they are in same channel, both in 1.5...

Ok, guys, previously I have already tested this, but I can see that I wasn't very clear about it. Now, to be very precise, I've retested everything and here are the results (I have dual channel board, with 4 slots, 2 of the old Gskill 4g memory modules and 4 of the new Kingston 8g modules (from...

SUMMARY: So in the end it looks like the motherboard is faulty. It is unable to work with 2 channels at the same time. No amount of resets, BIOS upgrades, manual settings could solve the issue. No more than 2 DIMMs would be active. Thank you guys very much for helping me figure out the cause...

Oh damn it... That's what I was afraid of. Since my board is several years old, I will just have to buy a new one. And that means a new CPU as well, and probably new cooler... Oh damn it) I have never sent anything for service, because the process is such a pain, that you spend so much time...

Ok, so I did this and surprise - I got 12Gb... So it looks like only 2 slots are active at a time... I've checked and its slot 1 and 3, which is the same result I got previously with all 4 of the new memory modules. Only channel 1 appears to be working. But channel 2 works as well, because when...

Ok, so here are serial numbers for all 4. They are in order from **89 to **91, so they are proper parts of the kit. I am in Switzerland, bought it through reputable online shop here. Unfortunately, they don't have returns unless the part sent was wrong, so I can't really check whether another...

Then I really have no idea whats happening... Perhaps this is the cause of the problems? Because it IS the RAM installed for all of the screenshots. All 4 modules are identical. Could someone explain this?

I don't quite see what would be the point for me to "have fun" on the part number) I don't know where CPU-z gets those numbers from. Here is the shot of the dimm itself and kit box. Don't know if this is helpful for anyone? Regarding the speed- I tried dropping it to 1066 - that didn't change...

Thank you for new ideas, guys. Regarding upping the voltage - whenever I change voltage - the screen remains completely black after restart. In fact, whenever I exit my bios settings with "Save changes and exit" - it doesn't work, even if I didn't do any changes. I need to press "discard changes...

Dear all, I hope someone can help me with my frustration here. I've decided to upgrade my memory from 8gb (2x4) to 32gb (4x8). I bought new complete Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3-1600 32gb kit (4x8gb) CL9. My motherboard is Asus P8Z77-V LX2. Processor - Intel i7 2600k (not overclocked). No issues...
