Hello,
I am currently using 4GB DDR3 using F3-10600CL8D-4GBHK.
After reading various posts on tomshardware here, and overclockers here and elsewhere (even this forum but I can't find the thread now), I have realized that my motherboard can read up to 8GB DDR3 memory and so I bought these chips F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL.
The motherboard is listed as supporting upto 4GB ddr3 from the manufacturer, but it is proven it can read 8GB ddr3 from various other people who tried it.
My pc does not post at all when I install the new ones (8GB ddr3). It doesn't go to bios, it doesn't show me anything (black screen, no beep), and then it just restarts itself after 6-7 seconds. This creates an infinite loop of restarts.
I have tested each ram chip by itself on each ddr3 slot, and still no post, no beep and just black screen and then restart.
Any help would be appreciated. My bios settings with the 4GB ddr3 are set to auto, no overclocks. Their default timings are 8-8-8-21. My bios has the latest version F4
Please let me know if I can try anything else or if I can RMA these for some other model you offer that might be compatible.
Thank you
My setup:
PSU: OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI 600W ATX12V
Motherboard: GA-EP35C-DS3R rev 2.1 BIOS version F4(latest)
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 Ghz
RAM: 4GB DDR3 F3-10600CL8D-4GBHK (trying to jump to 8GB DDR3 F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL)
Graphics Card: eVGA GTX 650 Ti Boost Superclocked 2GB ram
Drives:
Samsung 840 Evo SSD 500GB
Raid0 drives 500GB
Single drive 3TB (backup data)
