1) You may have to increase memory voltages slightly in BIOS. Pls read the motherboard manual for how-to.

2) A BIOS update may also be necessary to increase memory compatibility.

3) Your PSU should comply with spec v2.2

Some mobo also require that you please the memory in specific banks, read than manual for further clarification on this. You might also have to fill the 4th bank

Compare the DRAM voltage as read in BIOS to that of your RAM sticks.

600w cooler master is O.K. as regards power but specification version is different. If you bought the psu recently (within 2-3 years), it is most probably of version 2.2.

so right now you're able to run 4GB and not the 6GB correct.?
or are you saying that now only 2GB works.?
please clarify.

Brother before updating my bios,, only 2gb was working but after updating bios,, 4 gb is working without any issue,,

i was hiding out all weekend..

please say your running a 64-bit and not 32-bit (x86)...!

my thoughts exactly mal, lol

if it's 32-bit(x86) don't even bother with the 3rd stick, use two until you can get your hands on 64-bit(x64)

if you're attempting to install x64 and it's not working, make sure the bios is reading all 6Gb of ram before attempting to install windows with 6Gb installed. If it doesn't read all 6Gbs, it's quite possible that you have one stick that's DoA.
 
Please post the following:
1. Exact Part-Number and/or link for RAM
2. Verify the following are set as shown:

3. Resource Manager screen shot
RM_7PRO6GB.gif

4. Installed order -> {CPU} | x | RAM | x | RAM | x | RAM |

jaquit bro,, i cant run 6 gb ram,, do u want me u se test running my pc on 4gb,, pardon me bro am begginer so things are going above my head i suppose :(
 
Reference - 1333Mhz timing of 9-9-9 at 1.5V.

I found it listed as Tested {but not as matched "KIT"} http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=52976&mfr=ASUS/ASmobile&model=P6T+Motherboard&search_type=&root=us&LinkBack=http://www.kingston.com&Sys=52976-ASUS/ASmobile-P6T+Motherboard&distributor=0&submit1=Search

Tri (3X__GB) & Hexa (6X__GB) are better served and operate better as match {same production run} sets.

That said, please verify that they are installed in proper order as I indicated above -> 4. Installed order -> {CPU} | x | RAM | x | RAM | x | RAM | ; x = blank and the DDR3 is installed in the RED slots.

Q - What if any BIOS changes have you made? If you cannot remember then Load Defaults {plus any required e.g. Fan/AHCI/etc changes and no memory changes yet.

If that FAILS:
1. Use (2) Sticks -> {CPU} | x | RAM | x | RAM | x | x |
2. Download & Install CPUz. Install whatever RAM combination will work to boot. Look at the screen below and write down:
a. Part Number
b. JEDEC#2
You will need for all (3) sticks and note if there are ANY differences - they should all be identical.

3. Download & Create a bootable CD/DVD with Memtest86+ {use the ISO/zip} - http://www.memtest.org/
a. Shutdown and install all (3) sticks as stated above
b. Boot with CD/DVD and run for (2) passes

Please post back.

just messin' bro...
no, you're not above your head... it's all a learning experience.
i know you want triple channel mode and all 6GB, tested RAM for defects.
have you tried turning up voltage at all.?

Yes bro i have tried to turn up the voltage,, i did it to 1.60,, same result,, the rating of ram is 1.5v,
