Compatibility issues with asus maximus formula IX
Hey there i have just upgraded my cpu,motherboard and ram and put it all together today.
Aftet putting it together it wouldnt get anything on the screen and came up with error 53.
Error 53 is compatibility issues with ram.
Im running the asus maximus formula IX with an i7-7700k and a 32gig (4x8gig) kit of the corsair vengeance led 3000mhz ddr4
Any idea whats going on?

I'm running 16 gb of the same ram with no issues. I did find that I had to be extra careful in seating the ram or it wouldn't boot, but I had it in the A2-B2 slots so it was if no ram. Since you have it in all four, it may show compatibility issues if one stick is not seated right. I had to take mine out & put it back a couple of times. One question, do the led's light up? On mine, they wouldn't if not properly seated. You might also test with just one or two sticks inserted. Just some suggestions from my experience. Good luck.

Hi Hunter
Welcome to the ROG forum.
Also try clearing the cmos and try 1 stick in all four slots, if still the same error inspect the cpu socket for any bent or misaligned pins with a magnifying glass in good light.
A bios update might get it going too.

First you should see if the motherboard can pick up all 4 modules at stock speed (2133MHz).
