After seeing a few posts on others success with running 8gb DIMMs in their x58 setup and seeing Linus run 48gb I picked up three Hynix sticks for £10 each off ebay.
8gb 2Rx4 PC3 12800R 11 12 E2 HMT31GR7CFR4C two sticks
8gb 2Rx4 PC3 12800R 11 10 E2 HMT31GR7BFR4C one stick
I put them into my P6T7 after putting all the bios settings to auto. Turn the machine on and system won't post. Nothing. Tried each stick individually but still nothing. I checked the qualified vendors list for my board but it hasn't been updated since 2009. Likewise for the Bios edition. I'm running version 0904.
I can probably resell the sticks for a profit as most are going for £15-20 each if I can't get them up and running but would obviously prefer to have them working in my machine.
Any ideas? Or is this little upgrade punt dead in the water?
