All DIMM slots on MOBO work, All RAM sticks work, MOBO does not POST when different kits are combined. I tried each kit on same bank, different banks, various 8GB configurations with the 2 kits, and manually configured the BIOS to the point that my system halts due to over-voltage (because of anti-surge protection on ASUS boards?).
I have been following the instructions on the boards for a week now and no success.
Even my brother thinks I'm crazy now watching me test memory, full power down, swap memory, power on, test memory, full power down, ...
Any suggestions?
If not, am I allowed to RMA the 2 kits in exchange for a single 16GB kit of DDR3-1333 or 1600 RAM?
off topic, but what is the best ratio configuration (cpu-nb-ram) for my system?
am I better off with 1333 or 1600?
I would like a "clean" ratio (example: something like 1 : 4 and not 1 : 2.332133...)
