Morning everyone
I received this package from OC on Friday and spent yesterday - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-030-OE&groupid=43&catid=339&subcat=
Now it all fired up first time, however..........!
The BIOS showed up on first boot a warning about overclocking failed, so I re-booted and it booted up and went in to windows ok (XP X64).
The issue I have is that both the BIOS and Windows show that I have 4088MB of ram and not the 6 I have on the board. After a bit of investigation I have found the following.
CPU-Z Shows all 6gb of Ram and Everest Ultimate Shows 4GB but registers all 3 banks of 2gb!
I swaped all sticks about to see if that would make any difference but sadly no (all 3 have concurring serial numbers)
But late last night I noticed in Everest that bank 1 shows model no:
Corsair Dominator GT CM3X2G1800C7GT
Whilst banks 2&3 show
Corsair XMS3 CM3X2G1600C9
I take it this to be my problem as to why the BIOS and Xp only show 4gb or am I missing something?
Your help/comments would be gratefully appreciated.
Shunky
p.s. Despite the overclocking failed warning on first boot the Processor is running happily at 4ghz without me touching it.
