Hey Guys,

I built myself a new machine about 3 weeks ago, everything went fine except my 6GB of OCZ DDR3 memory was only recognized as 4GB.

I posted on here and people suggested :-

-> Flashing the BIOS
-> Checking Slots
-> Trying Memory 1 stick at a time

I have tried ALL of these methods and to no avail. I got so annoyed that I ordered some Kingston HyperX 6GB DDR3 2000Mhz memory which is now fitted. Its still ONLY recognized as 4GB even though the memory works itself.

My motherboard is an ASUS P6T Deluxe with an i7 920 @ stock.

Any ideas? Its horrible knowing I could have 6GB of performace in Triple channel but not being able to utilize it.
I've seen several threads regarding the board and memory problems but to me the board seems fine :S

Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.
 
Yeah, I've heard some sad stories about OCZ, However I've now purchased a second set of RAM that produces the same problem. (Different Make) I'm clueless but very frustrated at this point.
 
Tried all that. I also run a 64bit OS. I don't believe its the hardware itself. I've seen several threads about the CPU being seated wrong but its never posted 6GB always 4. FML =[

I'm not sure its the Mo-bo. The ASUS forums seem to have a lot of threads on the issue. Some say reseating the CPU helps, others reinstalling. It just ****es me off
