This 6gb kit says my Rampage II Gene should work with this ram.
IM ON WIN7 64bit PRO.
I can only get 4 out of 6gb to show in windows and bios. I know its not a bad dimm, or stick of ram.
I wish that I could have the bios settings that made this full 6gb work. I have gone through 2 mobo, and 2 sets of ram thinking something was wrong with the hardware. It has got to be a setting somewhere....or the two just aren't compatible.
I can see in CPU-Z that there is 6gb of memory in my motherboard.
Couple screens of what im looking at....
I was told by asus that this was not on this boards QVL. He said to ask gskill if this ram had been tested and worked in the socket A. The ram all works in sockets b and c, but it wont boot with just a stick in the socket a. Since CPU-Z shows there is 6gb, I know its not a bad dimm. This is my 2nd mobo, and set of ram.
Maybe they just wont ever talk to eachother? I have the latest bios update. Is there some voltage settings I need to try to get this thing kicked on?
Whats up with the shared system memory??????
Also, when in my bios gskill tech told me to mess with a few settings, that I couldnt find and that were different for me than described....
Here is what is different.......
1) Under the CPU Configuration, I have "Intel (R) Speed Step (TM) Tech" The email of bios settings does't have that listed.
2) DRAM Freq says for me to make it 2002mhz, the closest I have is 2006mhz.
3) UCLK freq says for me to use 4004mhz, the closest I have is 4014mhz.
4) DRAM Ref Cycle Time - 74, I only have the option for 72..........so mine is at 72.
5) EPU II Phase Control - WTF IS THIS? I dont seem to have it in my bios when I adjust things.
6) NB and DRAM OCP?? Mine are enabled, it doesnt say if I should have them disabled or enabled.
Sorry for all the info, but I have lots of questions. I'm about to give up on this ram and order pc1600. I have the ripjaws pc2000.
