Hey,
So I purchased an ASRock x58 Extreme. I've read in many places about the memory issues being seen by this product. I'm just wanting to find a definite answer here.
I have the OCZ3G1600LV6GK x3 (2gx3=6) memory and for some reason the mobo will not boot after installing more than 1 stick. I am correctly putting the memory into the white slots. I've also updated the bios with the latest bios update which should include a patch for "OCZ3G1600LV6GK Memory". Personally I wish I would have researched a little bit more before purchasing this cheaper board. There were pretty good reviews on the front page, but once you start digging through the reviews this memory issue sticks out like a sore thumb.
So my question basically is, has anyone had this motherboard work and actually get Tripple Channel Memory up to 6 gigs to work?
If so, do you mind listing the exact RAM you are using, and if you had any initial issues?
Also has anyone had the same issue I am having and replaced the board it self to solve the problem?
I swear I've read that some people have actually had the OCZ3G1600LV6GK work after replacing a couple boards (they call it the lottery). I just don't want to waste time and more money.
Also it is worth noting the system would not run the ram at its recommended speeds by default, had to go into the OC and boost the settings a little to get close to the memory's speeds.
thanks for any information!
