I was wondering if I could get some advice on this combo. I bought it because a part picker website said they would be compatible.
Foolishly I purchased before checking the support list on the Gigabyte website.

Now, what happens is the system will boot if I have one stick in the furthest slot from the CPU. Recognises the RAM fine.
If I put in the second stick - long beeps.
If I put either stick in the nearest slot - long beeps.
I flashed the BIOS up to the latest version which let me set XMP Profile 1 but it still won't boot with both sticks in.
Have I just made a schoolboy error and I am going to have to use the system with just 16GB until I can afford compatible 16GB sticks to replace (and sell the Corsairs on eBay or something) or is there some other action I can take which might make the system recognise both sticks? Obviously the vendor won't accept a return of either part because they both work fine.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
