As I only have one RAM-stick which is single channel? It actually says 2x8gb on the stick. But it is a single stick of course. The components are all after 2020. | |

Could there be any other reasons why it is not starting? I have tried with two different PSUs as well, thought maybe it did not give enough watt. The guide says it could be run with mixed RAM speeds, only the slowest would be used. Single channel are not specified by the specs. It is a workstation/server board by the way, not gaming. | |
