New PC not booting

[Apps]

The biggest thing that jumps out at me is that you have the wrong memory. The X58 is TRI channel, you ordered a Dual chan kit. On all gigabyte boards to use dual you have to boot with tri chan and change it in the bios as they removed the jumper for this about 2 revisions after the board was released

Ouch. This is gonna hurt. Sorry buddy, but jstanthr is right on the money here. The return policy for RAM is, you must return in within 30 days. And in the mfg label etc, kits need to be returned in same, no physical damage, blah blah etc etc.

Here's your EXACT problem.... RAM is wrong speed. Your board doesnt support it.

Your point would be valid if RAM couldn't run faster or slower than it is rated, not to mention the motherboard in question supports higher ram. If anything his faster rated ram would run at a slower speed (oh, say...1333).
While he did purchase the dual channel kit, and it isn't on the Qualified Vendors list, the triple channel kit IS on the list. Here's a little comparison.

Here is the model number of the RAM off of the QVL.
KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX
Here is the model number of the RAM kedash bought.
KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX
Here are the numbers together

KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX
KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX

Breaking down the code.
K - Kingston
HX- HyperX
1600-Rated Speed of the RAM
C9-CAS LATENCY 9
D3-DDR3
K2/K3-Number of sticks in the kit
/12GX/8GX-total amount of ram in the kit
SO, looking at the code, The only thing seemingly different between the two is the number of dimms in each kit so the amount of ram contained within varies accordingly.

Think about it, would you (as a company that makes RAM) want to market, develop, and manufacter multiple subsets of ram with the only difference being the ram was dual channel or triple channel. THEN motherboards/CPUs would have to be configured for each subset of ram. There would be multiple versions of ram, motherboards, RMAs galore, and it would be a pain in everyone's ass.

So instead of all that, in order to assist people who might buy a lower level consumer board that only has four dimm slots vs six, they market their ram as dual channel kits, only containing multiples of two dimms so those people buying ram won't buy extra dimms they don't need.

The only difference between dual and triple channel ram kits is the number of sticks within them. There will be no problem running one or multiple dual channel kits of ram. Kedash00 has three kits, enough to populate all the ram slots, so the ram will run in triple channel mode.

There is an issue to troubleshoot but it is NOT that a dual channel ram kit is being used.
