We could not get this MB to work with RAM in both memory slots, regardless of the speed of the memory. For the first 4 weeks or so I used one 8GB stick defaulting down to -2133 speed from it's rated -3200. I tried other RAM as well...NADA.
I missed the Amazon return date to get a replacement MB. So, I sent it to the Asus repair terminal in Indiana for a warranty repair. They received it this past Thursday, and I received an email today stating it was going out the door today to me.
Assuming the repair is fine, I hope to have it back by Thursday or Friday. Excellent turnaround.
Before I sent it in, I emailed an Asus tech rep concerning this matter. He said they had seen quite a few damaged MB memory controllers when the CPU heat sink/fan cooling unit was over-tightened to the motherboard.... interesting info right there. Just thought I'd pass that along.
