I just built a new computer:
6700K processor
Z170XP-SLI Motherboard (F6 bios)
Zotac GTX 1080
G.skills 2x8GB Ram (F4-3200C16D-16GVGB)
I first tried to run the ram in dual channel mode (slots 1&2) and it would not POST. I then removed the ram and only ran one stick in slot 1. It booted, I enabled XMP. rebooted... I could only get a second stick to work in slot 3 (so slots 1&3) and it is in single channel mode. The 16GB Ram works great... I'd just like it to be able to run in dual channel mode.
If I put a single stick in slot 2 or 4, it won't POST. beeps 5 times, reboots after 10 seconds.... continuous cycle.
After looking at the compatibility list I didn't see my RAM model listed. Despite not being listed, the ram works fine in slots 1&3.
Should I return this RAM or is there something I can do to force it to work?
