Hi Patio,
Thanks for the response.
- Yep, tried it in 1,3 and still no joy.
- Crucial shows 32gb as being the max RAM capacity for the board with 1600, 9.9.9.24, 1.50 as an acceptable upgrade. Nothing else useful other than that it picked up that the system currently reads the RAM as 4gb/4gb atm
- CPUZ Shows DDR3,Dual Channel, 8192Mb, NB @ 1999.9Mhz, DRAM @ 800Mhz, SPD Ext @ XMP 1.2
- See attached CPUZ report. From what I understand the Max Bandwidth on CPUZ confuses everyone as the 667Mhz is just the default value used when loading any stick over and above 1333 as the BIOS doesn't automaticaly enable an XMP profile for it.
- I only ever buy custom rigs and then only from certified wholesalers so the RAM was all on the up and up when I originally bought it and did report 16gb before the mobo gave in
( Unless you know the guy private sales through EBay is a Very bad idea on hardware ... never know if it's a person trying to flip re-calls or factory rejects )
- Is the memory diagnostic able to test every facet of the RAM even though it's running at 1333 or is it possible that a RAM failure is hiding somewhere due to the BIOS settings restricting testing?
Thank you for your asistance.
