Update/Answer: It seems the motherboard has a limit of what the max capacity can be used. This motherboard can use a max of 16gb (regardless of what you have installed). Other motherboards might be similar, check your "motherboard max memory capacity".
I know this has been asked a lot (I've searched trying to find answers. All the answers I've been over haven't been able to resolve my issue so I figured I would ask an updated question trying to get some light shined.
First I'd like to ask a separate question: Does dual channel memory only show half anyways?
Secondly: I have updated bios for my MB. I am running Win 10 Pro (x64). The memory chips are good. (I've replaced them in each of the 4 slots in different orders and get the same). The channels are good (I've removed half the memory and it still reads 16). CPU-Z Shows 32gb installed, BIOS+Windows Reads 16gb.
