Just installed windows 7 with the help on here from RJC :) now ive got 2 problems, firstly windows 7 isnt picking up my 4 gig. says 1.99 usable, and secondly its not picking up the overclock, just saying the default clock speed.
I have just installed one of the bundles from ocuk, which ive gotta say needed CMOS'ing to get to boot, the overclock wasnt quite right. But anyway this is the bundle,

1 X Intel Core i7 860 2.80Ghz @ 3.80GHz - Retail
1 X Asus P7P55D Evo Intel P55 Motherboard
1 X Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel
1 X Zalman CNPS10X-Quiet CPU Cooler


I just cant get windows to use all 4 gig? or even say the overclock on the system page.

Anyone any ideas please.
 
Yeah its windows 7, as for speedstep im not sure. ocuk have pre overclocked the bundle as i say, ill go check if speedstep is on and disable that. the bios does show 4 gig ram yes.
 
Right speedstep was on so i disabled that and it shows the full ghz now. I pressed the cmos to get the system to boot, after it booted i went into bios and loaded ocuk overclock profile which was saved, now it boots. Just need to work out this memory problem now.
 
it does detect all 4 in the bios, it also detects all 4 in windows settings page. what it says is. Installed memory 4.00 GB (1.99 ) usable. is it something to do with the overclock ocuk have done?
 
yip just tried booting the system up with both stick on there own, only 1 would do it. looks like i have a faulty stick of ram, gutted. So much for there bundles getting tested before being sold, wont be using ocuk again.
