Hello!!! I'm telling you about my problem that I haven't been able to solve and I can't find an idea on the internet or among my friends!!!…
The thing is, I just built a NEW machine with a motherboard Gigabyte GA X79 UD5 SOCKET 2011
AND BIOS VERSION F12
Video card gforce 670gtxSupports up to 64 gb of Ram
I bought Corsair memory: CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9It has 8 memory slots, 4 gray and 4 black
so when assembling the memory if I put the memory in the gray slots it starts up ok (BUT I ONLY SEE HALF OF THE MEMORY, I MEAN I PUT 4 MEMORIES OF 4 AND IT SHOWS ME 2 OF 4=8gb).
On the other hand, if I put them in the black slots or fill all the slots it doesn't start up giving endless continuous beeps, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!
THE MEMORIES WORK. I HAVE MORE AND THEY GIVE THE SAME ERROR
IN THE BIOS I DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TO ENABLE ANYTHING, I THINK!!!
PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO SOLVE IT GIVE ME A HAND!!!!
Maybe you've already solved it, but did you put the CPU in correctly?
I say this because there are sockets that if the CPU deviates a little it may not recognize the memory, this happened in X58 and I think I also heard something about X79, it's about taking out the CPU and placing it well, without forcing anything just making sure it fits well in the slots.
You can also enter the bios with the two that work and manually configure the memory the VCCIO and those voltages, then keep in mind that if the X79 has 8 memory slots you must plug the 4 in the same color, because being quad channel they all go to the same color, in Asus the primaries I think go to the right and if you put more they already go to yellow, but that the 4 to red or the same color.
