question Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK64GX4M4B3466C16 showing as 4GB modules (supposed to be 16GB modules)

[mulderfox]

Hi,

 

Have you encountered such an issue? This RAM is compatible (according to Corsair product page) to Intel 300,400,500 series and X299 motherboards. I have had it tested on a 300 series (H310) motherboard, and it shows as 4GB RAM module.

Did anyone encounter such a thing? assuming these are not counterfeit modules (which I seriously doubt as I have the box and everything else - bought it second hand), why would it show that?

 

Thanks.

(disregard my system specs as obviously this kit does not work on it)

Things I would try:

Run CPU-Z.  What is the reported Module Size and Part Number in the SPD tab?

Run MemTest86.

Take a picture of one of the modules with part and serial number. Post that here.

I currently don't have a supporting board (as in Intel 300/400/500 series, or x299) but only x99.

So, as I already tried these modules on my x99 board, as I said it shows incorrect RAM capacity and model. (in Thaiphoon Burner - as shown below)

The Thaiphoon Burner screen doesn't look good.  I suspect you got ripped off.
