Hello,

I'm new to this and I would appreciate the advice.

I recently bought 4x8GB corsair dominator platinum quad channel memory sticks.

But I wasn't aware about the mobo that it's a dual channel simply because I'm newbie to this.

The mobo is G1.sniper 5
With i7 4770k
Water cooled.

When I put all the sticks in, the PC keeps restarting and will not even post. It takes about 1-2 seconds then restart. I can't even access the bios.

When I put one stick only, it starts with no issue. I tried all the sticks individually, all of them are working but when I add more, the issue appears.

I changed the RAM voltage to 1.65 as rated and I also set the multiplier to 2400 frequency. I've even changes the timing to 10-12-12-31 as rated. It's the same. The PC keeps restarting.

I have updated the bios to F10. Nothing have changed.

What should I do? Please help. Also remember, I'm newbie.

Thanks.

Abdulla
 
Reset to bios defaults then put all,r sticks in. You may need to increase vccsa/system agent voltage to runs. 32gb that fast...

The number er channels is on the cpu, not the board. Just because you have 4 sticks doesn't make it quad channel. ;)
 
You could also move one stick to all 4 slots, to make sure that you don't have a bad one. Other than that, it's fairly normal to have to increase VCCSA/SAV for that many DIMMs.
