Hello all! I hope somebody can help me out
I'm having trouble activating dual-channel on a Ryzen system.
The single sticks of RAM boot and work perfectly one by one but when I try to insert both RAMs for dual channel the system won't boot at all (not even bios screen).
So here's the details:
I have a RAM kit of G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 F4-2400C15D-16GVR PC4-19200 8Gx2 DDR4-2400 CL15-15-15-35 1.20v Intel XMP 2.0 Ready
Motherboard Gigabyte B350M with Ryzen 7 1700 AM4
The system works perfectly with 1 RAM in the slot 1, but if I fill slot 1 and 2 (i also checked the motherboard manual, the slots are also the same color so all good there), the computer won't boot at all, no bios screen.
One thing i noticed, is that when in the bios i leave everything on auto, it sets the Tras timing to 36, and boots. the rams are specified Tras 35, I tried to set manual timings to 35, but is the same, with one ram it will boot correctly with either 35 or 36 no problem (i do check in cpuz after it boots) but when i put in the second RAM it wont work with 35 nor 36.
I also tried to activate XMP just in case , turns out with XMP enabled it wont boot at all not even with one ram! it will then reset itself to default automatically, XMP disabled, and then boot normally (with one ram...)
Is there any way i can setup the system to be able to boot with both rams in dual channel 8+8GB ? any specific manual timings or any other options ?
I can post bios pictures if it helps, just ask me.
Thank you very much in advance!
