i don't know if the two are related, but i figured i'll make one post for both issues.

first, my system recognizes that I have 8GB of RAM but only shows 7.83GB available. I know this usually happens when you use built in graphics but I'm actually not. I have dedicated GPUs. I attached a picture showing this

and the motherboard emits a horrible coil whine. it's just ridiculous. never heard anything like this.

any ideas?

while i appreciate the effort you need to stop spreading BS you clearly don't understand.



wrong. so f**king wrong it's not even funny. this applies ONLY to storage media. Hard drives, SSDs, tape drives, flash drives, etc. RAM capacities are calculated using binary contractions, not decimal. that's why small DDR/DDR2 chips were allocated 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, etc. i'm sitting at my work computer now, a Dell Precision T3610. it has 16GB of RAM and it can access every last bit of it. there are 30 Dell PowerEdge servers in the next room and they can access all 256GB of the RAM installed in them. i've been building computers from 12 years now. i know how RAM works. I'm supposed to be able to use it all. only built in integrated GPUs are supposed to eat up the shared RAM, unless there is something in the X99 platform that takes a chunk of the shared RAM.



cute but useless. if you make your voltage constant you have to disable Intel speed step and force your computer to guzzle down unreasonable amounts of power even when it is sitting idle. i happen to be using an i7 5930k, which can draw as much as 140 watts. forcing constant voltage will increases heat output and reduces life span of the parts. unless you are doing some hard core overclocking, you should NEVER do this. EVER. the voltage fluctuation is there by design. my last 5 builds were running with speed step enabled with voltage fluctuating all over the place and it was never a problem.

Once again, this is an issue with either the X99 platform or just this particular board. and that's what i need input on.
