Shou Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I have a Shuttle SX58J3 (Intel x58) equipped with an i7 960 (no OC). Stupidly, I bought CMX8GX3M4A1600C9 x4 to use as memory before checking compatibility online and found that the BIOS is only recognizing it as DDR3-10600 and only sees 4 out of 8GB. Any tips or do I need to buy a different set of RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 4, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 4, 2010 Try testing each module individually to see if one of the modules is having an issue. If all of the modules are running fine test each ram slot individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 6, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 6, 2010 Have you checked the bios for any memory remap options or checked for any bios updates from Shuttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shou Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 I've already upgraded to the latest BIOS version, 1.02. BIOS is set to XMP profile and the RAM does come up as DDR3-12600 but the BIOS and Win7 x64 do not see 8GB, only 4GB. memtest does see 8GB and did not detect any errors after 20 passes. CPUID sees 8GB as well. Can these be RMA'ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 24, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 24, 2010 That sounds like it may be some sort of bios or operating system issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
