Asrock P67 Extreme 4 - Code 45/Dual Chan Probs

[BeefyMcLulz]

Hello all - just purchased this board and some Gskill Ripsaw (2 sticks of 4GB each - F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM to be exact). Looking to get dual channel out of this - according to the manual of the board you have to have one stick in either A1 or B1 and the other stick in A2 or B2. Well when placed in the proper slots for dual channel I get a code 45 on the Dr Debug. Now, when I put them in A1/A2 system works fine boots up no problem. Went to the BIOS and noticed on the first screen that I am indeed running single channel mode. Timings are 9-11-10-28 and voltage is 1.65v according to the memory info and that is exactly what the BIOS reflects.

What is going on here? I see some people on the Newegg forums had some problems with this error code. Beyond RMA'ing the board not sure how to proceed. Anyone had this problem?

does it say the correct slots for two sticks of 4gb? or are you plugging them in the slots for two sticks of 2gb?

Your board does not have separate slots for 2GB or 4GB DIMMs, nothing in the manual states anything about that.

But, your memory is not listed in your board's memory compatibility list. Sorry to say, that is important, and while you may find memory that will work that is not in the list, if it isn't the chances are it won't work perfectly, or not at all.

First time I have ever heard of the possibility of slots intended for different capacity modules. Where would you get info like that?
