Very long story short I installed my Crucial DDR5 5200 RAM into my new ASUS X670E ROG Strix-EA motherboard. (Same as Strix-EE except for color of metal trim on motherboard.
For 2 sticks of RAM, ASUS recommends using memory slots 1 and 3, Where slot 1 is closest to the CPU.
Memory boots up system fine in slots 2 and 4, the non-recommended config. But the motherboard beeps with an error message indicating no RAM if either stick is in slot 1 or slot 3.
Is this OK? Or should I RMA this motherboard?
