Hey guys, I recently got a Maximus V Gene motherboard where the first two RAM Slots (A1 and B1) are faulty. Basically, if I plug in any ram into either of these slots (i run with 2x4gb corsair), the board give me a "55" error code - which means No Memory Installed. However, if I leave both of those slots empty and put one stick in either of the other slots, the board boots up just fine.
My question is - What kind of performance loss would I be getting if I were to simply get an 8gb stick and place it in one of the other slots on the motherboard (A2 or B2)? I haven't tried EVERYTHING to see if the slots can be fixed, but I figured that this might just be the easiest way to go - at least faster than having to RMA this thing and then waiting another 1-2 weeks to get the replacement.
I usually only browse, movies, music, and game on my comp. Nothing too crazy. Thanks for your help!
