plese help me, can't use my vengeance pro with ecsg41t-m16

i just bought a new 8GB kit corsair vengeance pro series with serial number CMY8GX3M2A1600C9B

 

i used a pair of 4 GB visipro 12800 before

 

after i sell my visipro memory i bought 8gb kit vengeance series to replace it, i even asked the guy who sold it to me "is it gonna work with my board" and he said yes..

 

but after i installed the memory modules, nothing happened, all of the fans were funning, but it couldn't get to the post, when i take the memory modules i got 3 short beeps,

i already tried to reset the cmos, and still nothing happened,,

 

im start wondering, maybe my board not compatible with these memory modules,

 

but when i read this

 

and

http://download.ecs.com.tw/dlfileecs/manual/mb/G41T-M16/G41T-M16_V10_MANUAL.pdf

on page 2..

it said that "Supports 1-Gb, 512 Mb DDR3 technologies for x8 and

x16 devices"

 

and i got

with 5.21 version

please help

The kit you bought very likely uses 4gbit ICs that are too high density for the chipsets memory controller. If you look at the modules from the bottom, you will probably only see ICs on one side. That is also true for most other 2x4gb kits sold nowadays. Even models that were built double sided using 2Gbit ICs in the past, had to be transitioned to 4Gbit eventually because of IC availability.

first thanks for the reply..

but

like i said yesterday, i got 5.27 version modules,

in here

5.2x listed as 512 x 8

 

???

512Mx8 = 4GBit and you probably need 256Mx8 (2Gbit) for G41. ASrock also states this in their G41 MB models specs: "In order to maximize the system memory, please install 4GB memory module with 16 cells (double sided)."

how bout this on page 2

You would have to ask ECS about that :/

 

From my understanding that is a hardware limitation of the chipset itself, so it should apply to all G41 motherboards regardless of manufacturer.

case closed, today i already bought a new board and processor..

 

thanks..

That is another (easy) way to solve that issue :biggrin:
