Title: GA-H81M-DS2 - Second slot won't work with Corsair Vengeance 4gb RAM
Post by: elcuolo on December 19, 2015, 09:59:39 pm

Am guessing that this is a compatibility issue but I have tried to install two sticks of 4GB Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9 RAM, if I leave both sticks in the PC won't boot, if I remove the stick from slot 2 it will. Have tried both sticks of RAM in slot 1 and all is fine, slot 2 however is a no go.

Have updated to the latest F2 Bios, is there anything that I can do or is this just a wait till the next bios rolls out issue?

TIA

Elcuolo

Your memory controller is in the CPU and it will only Support for DDR3 1600/1333 MHz memory modules. You are trying to run 1866 memory.

Aah, thanks, was given the components by a friend and asked to build for him. All makes sense now.

Thanks for your help!
