I am about to go crazy trying to figure out why this motherboard doesnt read the entire 6gb and only 4gb of my memory. After further research online it seems EVERYONE is having the same problem and nobody seems to know the real answer. Some say bent pins on mobo. Some say bad ram slots. It has definitely got to be the motherboard though because nobody with any other mother board besides these p6t's seem to be having this exact same problem in so many cases.
Here is my setup:
i7 920 stock clock for now
P6T v2 deluxe
mushkin 3x2gb (6gb 7-8-7-20)ram
Corsair 850w psu
cooler master haf 922
wd black cavier 1tb hd
gtx 275(have sapphire ati 5870 just havent installed because I want to figure this damn memory issue out first)
Someone please tell me they have the magic answer. I purchased mobo and cpu from microcenter and everything else from newegg. I dont live near microcenter and will have to some how beable to mail all the stuff back if its doa. Computer runs fine just only recognizes 4gb instead of 6gb. I have tried removing memory several times switching to black and back to orange slots which i didnt seem to get any picture in the black slots. Any help is greatly appreciated.
