so I just received another 2 G.Skill Ares series DDR3 1866 ram which I was previously running 8gb but now I have 16gb as of yesterday. Windows 7 64 bit ultimate is showing that I have 16gb but only 12 usable. Now I'm curious if in the bios because it's running at a lower frequency (automatically running at 1600) if that's the reason it's only using 12gb instead of the full 16gb. Also I'm sure I can manual set up everything in the bios to have the memory run at 1866 vs 1600.
Specs:
AMD FX-6200 Zambezi 6-Core 3.8GHz
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 Rev 3.0
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
UEFI Bios Version FC

I had enabled the XMP profile to run the 1866 but the BIOS caught the boot failure so I had to set it back. This is what I'm currently looking at in the resource monitor.

Try at 1600 with same timings, there are few of the 6xxx CPUs that can carry 4 sticks at 1866 - in fact many of the 8xxx FX CPUs have trouble w/ four sticks, this has been a problem going back to the original Bulldozer FXs - AMD finally changed the Advertising to show that the FXs are rated UP TO 1866 T 1 STICK PER CHANNEL, for the 6XXX it's really more like maybe 2x2GB at 1866
