    x58 and memory problems
    « on: July 28, 2010, 07:04:40 PM »
    Is there any other chipset that works with the 1366 i7 920 other than the x58. For the life of me I cant get the Asus p6t v2 delux to see my whole 6 gig of 1600 mhz memory. Its on the preferred vendor list and everything. im about to go bald over this.

    Are you looking at the total memory installed in CMOS or Windows ?

    Are you using 32bit Windows or 64bit Windows ?

      Why do you want a different chipset?  X58 is the only chipset for socket 1366.
      Your issue is most likely related to the memory controller on the CPU, the board and chipset have very little to do with memory on modern systems.
      If you can provide more details, such as the exact issue you are experiencing and the hardware involved, someone may be able to help.

        As grandpa_simpson has asked, it is likely to be a 32bit OS. The pertinent question for me is this, what amount of is being addressed?? Then I would also be interested to know if this Chip has recently being dropped in and how?

        As Calum stated that is the only chipset available for the Socket 1366 MBoard setups...
        Where are these Memory #'s being reported ? ?
        Do you have the BIOS set at default ? ?
        Have you checked out your ASUS documentation ? ?
