Hi. I have just finished to mount my first Hackintosh and i have a problem : the motherboard doesn't recognize the RAM (code 55), so i can't have the BIOS settings. The motherbord is a Gigabyte Z170X Designare and the RAM is 2x16GB Crucial Ballistix BLS2C16G4D240FSC. In the compatible RAM list of the motherboard there is only 8GB modules, but on the specifications they mentioned 64GB max (there are 4 ports). I would like to install 32GB but 1 port is unreachable due to the CPU cooler, so i need 2x16GB. Does anyone know compatible 16GB RAM modules for this motherboard ?

Thanks for your help !

Thanks, i will try to find one of these.
I have done some tests :
If i install one module only, it works on port 2 and 3, don't work on port 1, port 4 unreachable due to cpu fan. Is it possible that the port 1 has a problem ?
