Solution
First try loosening the heat sink and then snug it back down, if you have a corner or side of it too tight it can affect the MC (memory controller) as it may not be getting full contact with all pins

So the A1 B1 ram sockets on my triple channel are not reading the one stick when i put them in and the last C1 is, i am guessing it has something to do with my processor or new heat sink, tomorrow i will put old heat sink in and check all cpu socket pins thoroughly. come back with a answer.
