I built this pc almost a 8 months ago, now, and am just getting around to working the ram issue out. When I run memtest it shows I have 4 sticks in. When I run cpuid, it shows four sticks. In the information part of the bios, it shows four sticks. The mobo is still only reading at 16gb's of a possible 32gb's, though. My setup is as follows:
z77 motherboard
i7-3770k
2 (striped for her pleasure) samsung 128(?)gig ssd's
4 G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
850w Corsair psu
EVGA geforce 680
H-100 cpu cooler
COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN3-GP case
I'm wanting to get my money's worth out of the build. It's a very large beast, and I was thinking of upgrading the ram, but if I can't get it to work with ram of the next tier down, I'd rather not waste my time. Thank you in advance!
