Hello Guys! Does this board support this kind of ram? RipjawsX 1x8gb F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL and a 2x4gb F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

Hi,
The board will only take modules with a maximum of 4Gb capacity so the 8Gb Ripjaws module is no good.
The 2x4Gb modules are not on the QVL but they should work, you may need to adjust settings in BIOS for speed, timings & voltage if you do encounter any problems.
-
thank you sir
-
i tried to test the 2x4gb of the ripjaws but it didnt worked, i have the latest bios which F8, and it is in default settings

Your board doesn't support 1600 memory. It should run at default setting. But it might be the CPU you are running. Most 775 CPU's would only support 1066 memory. You never said what CPU you are running.
4 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 16 GB of system memory
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2200+/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
-
oh yeah my bad, the cpu that im using is a q9550
-
does this mean that 1333 is the only ram that i can use? and what about its capacity per ram slot?
-
Is the PC getting past POST and into BIOS?
If yes then you should be able to manually set the RAM speed and timings in BIOS.
If no, then try clearing CMOS.
Remove one of the sticks of RAM then try to restart the PC.
Does it BOOT/POST now?
If yes, go into BIOS and check the timings and speed of the RAM module. Shutdown, add the second stick of RAM and restart the PC.
If no, shutdown the PC clear CMOS again, swap the RAM modules and try to start again, with only one stick of RAM.

When i tried to use the 1600 2x4gb ram its in black screen, no post and doesnt go to bios, it only beeps continuously , the bios is in default settings, mr. Dmdilks said that it doesnt support 1600 so i will try to use a 1333 ram
