MB1- Asus Rampage II Gene
MB2 - Asus Rampage III Formula
RAM - 6 x 4GB - GSKILL F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL
I put it in the first board, and detected only 16 GB RAM, though memtest detects all the DIMMS in all the bays.
I tested the DIMMS and the bays, and determined that the RAM was working, but the last 2 of 6 bays were not.
A few days later, because the RAM was slightly faster than the 3 x 8 GB sticks that I had in another MB, I made the swap.
Once again, only 16GB RAM detected. I had a bad feeling at that moment that this MB would also never detect 24 GB again as well, but it seemed so hard to believe. I'd never even heard of anything like that before in close to 20 years at this.
My experience be damned. This board appears shot too. I need every 24 GB of this RAM for my use case, so now it is useless to me.
WTF!
Any help is much appreciated.
EDIT: One correction to the above: I also had it in a Asus P658XD-E, which is also now doing the same! This has become a nightmare.
