I have a ASUS 970 gaming/aura motherboard that I just installed and I got some RAM as well. The RAM I got is 16gb PC3 10600 CL9 240 PIN RDIMM. When I install it, it beeps. The beeping is saying that it is not detecting any RAM. I had a 4GB ram stick here that I tried and it works. That RAM is ADATA AM2U139C4P2 2RX8 PC3 10600U-999. Like I said, that RAM works fine. I have two 16gb RAM sticks that beep. ASUS said the 16gb ram should work. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it isn’t working?
Hi, You may have been misinformed regarding the 16GB RAM modules, unless there is an Asus 970 Gaming / Aura motherboard. I could only find information on an Asus 970 Pro Gaming / Aura motherboard on the Asus website.. According to the Asus specifications for that motherboard it supports a maximum of 32GB of RAM over 4 slots. (see image 1 below) The maximum allowable RAM/slot is 8GB (4 x 8=32 - see image 2 below), therefore 16GB RAM modules will NOT work. Be aware that the RAM should be the low voltage type i.e.<1.5V Here are some images taken from the Asus support page and the Asus User Guide for the Asus 970 Pro Gaming / Aura motherboard which explain the memory specifications.

Here is a link to the User Guide for an Asus 970 Pro Gaming / Aura Motherboard. http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/Sock… Hopefully this is of some help.
One of the memory sticks may be bad, or both. Try install one stick, check if it works then add the other stick and check again. Hope that helps
