  • F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL + A88X-Pro + AMD A6 6400K

    Just built new pc with A88S-PRO M/B with two sticks of 4g G Skill Ripjaws memory DDR3 1333 & AMD processor A6 6400K. Win 7 Prof. 64bit is installed. I have 2 sticks 4g each total 8g installed. I can only get it to read 1 stick of memory.
    This is dual channel memory G.Skill DDR3-1333 PC3-10666....... #F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL
    I loaded Bios optimized defaults with the same results.
    Both sticks will read when installed individually in slots 1 or 2
    Both sticks are read 8G when installed in slots 1 and 2. .(This is not recommended by ASUS. They recommend slots 2 & 4 .
    Neither stick is read when installed in slots 3 or 4 together or separately.
    Seems like slots 3 & 4 are dead. Nothing reads in them. Talked to Asus and they said bad M/B so I returned to place of purchase and got a new one from a totally different run 10k boards later. Still got same problem.

    So with two different mainboards both times the slots of memory channel b were dead?

    My logical conclusion would be a defective memory controller. That is a part of the processor (AMD A6-6400K). It is kinda rare, but i guess it is not too far fetched.

        Now Asus tells me this memory is not on their QLV list so it probably wont work. But G SKILL has it listed on their QLV list as AOK.

          You basically did this already, when you confirmed that both sticks work just fine, if you only use the two slots that are part of channel a. The only other thing to do, would be a test with another APU.
