    Morning Guys, having a major issue which i know is common across a lot of x58 boards but here we go....

    I have installed 1600mhz dominator memory (3x 2gb) but the bios and windows are only picking up 4088mb (which seems to be a strange figure)

    cpu-z is picking up the proper 6gb. i have tried downclocking the memory to 800mhz and 1066mhz but to no avail. i have also reseated the cpu and also tried a different cpu and it also made no difference.

    if anyone has had this issue and can help i'd bee mighty grateful.

    i am using a 980x cpy by the way.

    are they in the right slots and also are you running a 64 bit o/s

    Yeah they are in the right slots and it doesnt pick up the memory in the bios so the os doesnt come into it. seems to be a common enough issue

    You've probably already tried it but have you updated BIOS?

    I think I know what might be wrong, is the ram installed in the first three slots leaving the last 3 empty? if so it could be because of the X58 tripple channel, the memory should be in slot 1,3,5 or 2,4,6
