I have 2x8 of G.skill 1600 (ares) CL 10
I have 2x4 of G.skill 1600 (ripjaw) CL 9
For some reason, I cannot get both sets to work on my board at the same time. If all 4 dimms are installed, then the board will flash on, do weird crap for 30 seconds, and then restart. The codes on the board display indicate memory issues.
I understand that dual channel memory has to be a matching pair, but I always thought that only the memory on the same channel has to match.
I've also rechecked the Dimm positions. I thought board makers had moved away from alternating slots for the memory channels. For example.
|1| |2| |3| |4|
IF each of those represents a dimm, according to the manual for my board, 1 and 3 have to match and 2 and 4 have to match. This is how dual channel worked on my Asus p4g8x way back in the day, but i thought board makers had changed the paradgm so that 1-2 would be a pair and 3-4 would be a pair.
Thanks for any assistance.
