petercolumbus Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I BUILT A MACHINE WITH TWO DDR3 16GB EACH ON AN ASUS P8Z77-V LX MOTHERBOARD. NO MATTER WHAT CONFIG I USE TO INSTALL THE MEMORY MODULES, blue or black banks, ONE MODULE OR TWO, the system profile always shows that each module is 8GB and not 16GB. Together they should make and give me 32 GB of RAM. Clueless. I need HELP. What is the problem? Is it possible I have been sold camouflaged memory modules from a reputable vendor? Maybe someone here has experienced this. HELP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The 16 in CMX16GX3M2A1600C11 indicates 16 GB in total. Why do you think each DIMM is 16GB? Post the [sPD] panel from my SIV utility to confirm this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted January 13, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2017 Like Ray said, you have a 16 GB kit. It's comprised of two 8 GB modules. Read more about your memory kit on the product page: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/xms3-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmx16gx3m2a1600c11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercolumbus Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm sorry my mistake. The memory card says 16 GB or 2x8GB. I still have the same problem. Why is MotherBoard only registering 8 GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted January 13, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 13, 2017 It's registering each module as an 8 GB module because that's what they are. Are you saying when BOTH modules are in it's registering them TOGETHER as 8 GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Why is MotherBoard only registering 8 GB? You have not provided enough information for me to even guess. Were you to run my SIV utility and attach the initial + [sPD] + [DIMMs] panel screen shots I could comment further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xclock Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 he means 2x16GB kits. so 2 separate 16gb kits. those are not tested altogether of 32GB. did you played with any volts yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
