have you tried to set the ram sped manually? just to test it by using lower speed, maybe it can help

socket is fine you need to raise the vccsa voltage to 1.1

As everyone else has said, bump your VCCSA voltage. Four 8G sticks is going to be tough on most dual channel IMCs when talking about DDR3. VTT/VCCIO is also likely to help since that's the voltage fed to the IMC.

Hello guys,

The problem is I can't find the VCCSA values or VTT/VCCIO

I did some photos of my bios.

CPU SA/IOA/IOD voltage mode is set in manual mode, should I put in offset mode?

Thank you for all your effort guys

CPU SA voltage is what you want to adjust. :)

Try 0.9 or 1.0V. Set it, reboot to bios, then enable xmp.

i say just go for 1.1 if 1.1 doesn't do it then the kit isn't going to work in that board/cpu combo

Hello, bad news.

I did what you said.

Increase to 1.1V SA voltage

https://ibb.co/j8SueQ




I put 2 sticks of ram .

I could get to bios and bios recognize the 32GB, but when the system tries to run It shutdown...

I tried with 3 sticks but I got blue screen "bad pool header"...

Any advice?

Hello,

Do you think other model of RAM would work in that motherboard?

I can buy other brand or other model.

I need 36 GB RAM... What could I do?

Buy other motherboard?

Your best bet for supported RAM is what is listed on the QVL. Buy a set that fits your 32GB needs from their QVL list.

Have you tried re seating the processor in its socket? I had some memory issues similar to yours recently and taking the processor out and putting it back in magically fixed all of my issues. It's worth a try.

Hello guys,

I returned:

G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 16GB 2x8GB CL9
G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 16GB 2x8GB CL9

Do you recommend me another RAM that it's compatibility with G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2133 PC3-17000 16GB 2x8GB CL9 ?

I don't want to lose the two sticks of 8GB but I need 32GB RAM asap...

Please help! thank you
