Hello,
My new build
i7-2600k
ASUS P8 Z68-V PRO/GEN3
OCZ ZT series 550w modular PSU
radeon 6850 1 gb
16gb corsair vengeance ddr3 sdram (4x4) ddr3 1600 (pc3 128000)Desktop memory mod.
OCZ Octane 128 gb SSd (boot drive)
Sony Optiarc 24x DVD r/w
rosewill 74-in-one memory card reader
seagate 1 tb 7200rpm 32mb cache hdd
Windows 7 Pro
Just put it all together-issues on post didn't like ram, had to reset a number of times, made sure everything was properly plugged in, swapped out memory in slots until successful boot.
Bios shows only 8 of my 16 gb ram, so does windows experience index. Can find all memory specs if you individually select slots in bios, but not all are working.
Windows experience index shows all at 7.7 except CPU which is rated at 5.6.
CPU running at 35c with stock fan, removed stock thermal paste and applied artic sliver as per reccommendations of someone on this board, now i'm worried that if there's something wrong with it, I won't be able to return it.
Any suggestions, observations etc would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm not sure how to test slots.
Just finished memtest which verifies there is a hardware problem...
Oh and i forgot to mention, CPU-Z (?) shows that my CPU has 1 core and 1 thread. I'm hoping to pull out the mobo tomorrow and check the pu for bent pins...unless the manufacturer damaged it, it should be fine though but if it is the problem (or one of the problems) I may be out $300. because of removing the stock thermal paste!
Positive thoughts and love and light to you and me.
