Hello, I'm having some issues with my Gskill ram. These are the specs of my build:
Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E
RAM: G.SKILL NQ Series DDR3 1600MHz (PC3-12800) 6GB (3x2GB) Triple Channel Kit (F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ)
CPU: Intel cORE i7 930
OS is Windows 7
what happens is that every one in a while (maybe twice a week) when I start my computer, it only recognizes 4 of my 6GB of memory. I turn off the PC, start again, check my BIOS, and then it shows the 6GB. Everything after that works fine. I manually set the DRAM frequency to 1600 in the BIOS, but it didnt solve my problem. They are installed in their respective slot as it's shown in the Motherboard manual (Slots A1, B1 and C1)
Also, I do a lot of 3d work, so I'm considering upgrading my RAM to 12GB (3 x 4GB ) or maybe 24GB (6 x 4GB). My question is, if I get the 12GB set, would interfere with the 6GB that I already have ? it'd be like this ( 3 x2GB) and (3 x 4GB) giving me 18 GB of memory but that doesnt sound right since I have been told that memory only works properly if it's 12, 24 or 32.
The G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 24GB (6 x 4GB) seems like a good choice, but it doesn't show in the motherboard list of qualified vendors.
