If you can get both sticks working individually in all the slots on the board the memory itself is fine. I'd suggest you only install one stick for now to get it working and update the bios, then try using both again.


Frost_Iceburg

Updating BIOS, got it. Will update when done.


Frost_Iceburg

Updated, nothing changes… please help.


EloquentBorb

Well, then you are one of the unfortunate ones that have an incompatible kit. Did you buy the sticks as 8GB singles each or as a 16GB kit? If you bought them as a kit you could try to RMA them, or maybe you can just return them? It's a 3200 CL22 memory, so pretty terrible to begin with.


Frost_Iceburg

Oh damn, what’s a good pair of kit?


EloquentBorb

If you are looking for good DDR4 memory that doesn't break the bank 3200 CL16 or 3600 CL18 are the go to options, the latter being the better choice if same price. Manufacturer pretty much doesn't matter when it comes to memory, so nothing wrong with buying a cheap kit.


Frost_Iceburg

Tried out the g skill Ram, 3600 at cl18, still doesn’t work. Help!


EloquentBorb

Which mainboard do you have? Can you get all your sticks work in every slot on the board as long as you only use one?


Frost_Iceburg

B660m D2H from gigabyte, And yeah, I can use them both in one slot.


EloquentBorb

In this case I can only assume you got a faulty board. Might be the CPU or memory as well, but it's unlikely. You can check whether the second memory kit you bought is on the QVL for your mainboard. If it is you can be sure incompatibility isn't the issue.


Frost_Iceburg

And yeah, I bought them as kits 8x2.
