To the tech gurus,
Installed this 16GB RAM with an Asus M5a97 MoBo and motherboard gave a CLEAR solid red DRAM light when powered on which means one thing: Memory incompatibility. The on-board DRAM controller does have the ability to "overclock" the R.A.M Timing and Voltage settings to facilitate operation, and even though it was able to tune the modules to a boot-able state it did so by changing the factory parameters listed on each stick of R.A.M. This kit is not listed in the Memory QVL but has similar settings with compatible G skill modules on list. Question: Could the pairing of these two ?incompatible? components caused the motherboard to become overloaded and damaged one of the essential operating capacitors?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
