Hi all, I’m just building an ITX system for home consisting of a Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro Wifi ITX motherboard, a Ryzen 5 3600x processor and 16gb DDR4 ram. I bought the components following a build list from the internet. I think the memory I go isn’t working.

On post it won’t boot and I just get 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps, which according to Gigabytes website is a memory issue.

The memory I purchased was 2 x 8gb Corsair Vengence CMK16GX4M2B33200C16 from Amazon

Can anyone tell me if this is supposed to be compatible and if not what I should be buying instead please (16gb)

Sounds more like the board doesn't have a Ryzen 3000 compatible bios installed. Has it got flashback? If so flash to a bios from around July sometime this year, things were nice and stable then. Avoid the latest bioses, they're for Ryzen 5000 cpus and aren't mature yet. If it's not got bios flashback you need to check if it boots with an older cpu first, and if so update the bios using that cpu.
 
CMK16GX4M2B33200C16 is;
VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Memory Kit - Black (corsair.com)

Motherboard is;
B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0) Key Features | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global

Yeh it's fine both DDR4. You need bios F40 to support this CPU.
 
An Athlon 200ge is probably the cheapest Am4 chip you could get new to flash with.

Or head to a local computer shop and see if they could do it for you for a fee?
 
Right, feel like a right idiot now. After a weekend of messing about, I discovered than the single long beep followed by two short beeps was a Video Card error. As the Ryzen 5 3600X doesn't have built in GPU, then it appears the motherboards DisplayPort or HDMI ports do nothing. In affect I needed a GPU fitting (which I was always going to do). Removed my Radeon RX570 from my old PC and dropped it into the new build and voila, all booted up and the new system works perfectly.

to say I felt like a right idiot is an underestimation. :D

Appreciate all the assistance though.

Well that's good news - and I'm sure plenty of us have made that mistake!
Glad you got it sorted!
