Soldato
Have recently purchased (albeit second hand) Asus P8Z77 mobo and upon piecing my system back together again today I have noticed that the A2 and B2 DIMM slots are not working - when either of them are populated I get the Red DRAM Led.
This in itself is not a MAJOR issue but as I was using a 4x4gb kit with my old board it does mean that if I want to keep using 16gb I will need to buy a 2x8gb config instead although the downside is I am stuck in Single Channel mode.
Will I notice any difference in my real world usage being in Single Channel? Really just gaming and general desktop stuff no video editing or the likes.
Secondly, is there anyone that might know what the problem is? I'll start you off by saying that upon installing the board I noticed 2 bent pins in the CPU socket but as the board is second hand and had been lying around for a week before I noticed it I think I have little recourse with the seller, could have been my own doing I'm not sure.
I have suffered bent pins before and usually has resulted in a complete system failure so I am surprised that everything is working 100% apart from the DIMM slot situation.
Any info/experience greatly appreciated cheers.
