Firstly i must state that this issue has to be not mb-related. I switched 4 different mboards in the last two years and none of them could handle more than 2 sticks of ram (and now its only 1).
My thought is that i could ruin sth in my cpu by oclocking it too much, can it be the case?
I kept my 3570k cpu at 4.7 ghz for half a year before my msi z77 mpower mboard had burnt (vrm particulary).
Then i switched to a different mb, then i did it again and none of them could handle more than 2 sticks. Since not long ago its only 1 stick that my pc can start with. Tried many ram sticks - it doesnt depend on them.
Although i have to mention that this 2 ram restriction had started before i reached 4.7-4.8 ghz. It began when my friend brought me his 3470 cpu to test it in my rig. After puting his cpu in my mb im having ram issues on any mboard w/ my 3570k cpu
My first mboard was asus z77 p8 v lx (troubles started there, after puting 3470 cpu of my friend in it. Since then it could handle 2 sticks of ram but it could not indicate more than 4 gigs.).
2nd one was msi mpower which had burnt and it could handle only 2 sticks of ram
3rd one is asus z77 p8 v
It could not handle more than 1 stick of ram since i bought it
Strugling with 1x8 ram now. Its tough to live w/out duo channel mode
