I have a MB I'm trying to run with 8GB of ram in 4 sockets. These are 2 kits of matched pairs (not a one kit with 4). It is Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 memory. Bios is ver F8. MB is rev 2.0.
Each of the modules work fine separatly and in pairs, no errors with Memtest86+. When I put in all 4 the machine won't boot at all. I have tried the pairs in different slots. One pair works in every combination (1&3, 1&2, 3&4), the other just works when I put them in slot 1&3, not in 1&2 and 3&4.
I have tried changing the memory frequency and set the voltage to 1.65. Nothing helps when trying to run all 4 modules.
So my questions;
1) Is it impossible to get two pairs of matched pairs to work together ?
2) In this config should the matched pair be in socket 1&2 or1&3 ?
3) Does the differnt behavior of the to pairs indicate anything?
