3stolze Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 New Intel DP43BF MoBo with 2 sticks of Corsair XMS3 memory (2X4=8Gb). On first attempt to start new build, BIOS won't post and get 3 evenly spaced identical beeps indicating memory problem. Three beeps repeat. Compatible memory? Any suggestions?

waynearto Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I have this board DP43BF and is only for 4 x 2GB modules up to 8GB max, hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 You might want to see if there is a bios update that would allow the use of 4 gig modules.If not, you'll have to find another kit that is made from 2 gig modules instead of 4 gig modules.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 20, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 20, 2011 I am sorry but that MB will not support our 4.0 Gig modules they would have to be 2.0 Gig modules and only Version X.X, if our modules version is X.XX they will not work on that MB, sorry!

imac98374 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I am sorry but that MB will not support our 4.0 Gig modules they would have to be 2.0 Gig modules and only Version X.X, if our modules version is X.XX they will not work on that MB, sorry! What does the x.xx version number signify? I bought the same MB, and 4 x 2GB corsair XMS3 RAM (CMX8GX3M4A1600C9) I put the system together today, and got a memory error. I figured it was because I hadn't updated my bios to the latest version which would enable 2Gbit SDRAM density compatability. The sticks I bough are v8.16. Are these modules a lost cause on my MB?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 28, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 28, 2011 The modules made with Version X.XX # will be made with 512M X 8 Memory IC's and would not be compatible with the MB you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
