Hey guys,
I have purchased 16GB DDR2 PC5300 RAM for a server build. The odd thing is though, upon putting the RAM in, it only detects 12GB which means two of the 2GB Modules are not detected. Upon looking at the RAM, Each stick has a code and then A or B at the end of the matching codes. Does that mean I need to put Modules labelled A in the same coloured RAM slots or Module A and Module B in the same coloured slot. So for Example :
White Slot 1 : 2GB Module A
White slot 2 2GB:Module B
Or
White slot 1: 2GB Module A
White slot : 2GB Module A
All Modules are working and tested what else is strange though is if my motherboard detects 12 and I remove another 4GB ( 2 modules) then it states there is only 4GB when there ought to be 8GB.
Not only that but rather than running at 667Mhz its down clocked to 400Mhz, I assume this could also relate to the ranking ? Infact I am guessing it all relates mostly to ranking order
Look forward to some help.
