i have just built a i7 based machine and the i have an issue with the memory. when i boot most of the time the machine only detects 4 out of 6 sticks of memory windows can see the memory but says only 8gb usable. in order to get it to detect all 6 sticks reliably i have to run 1.665v through the memory
specs are as follows:
i7 920
Dfi Lanparty jr x58-t3h6
6x2gb ocz gold rated to run at the bare minimum 9-9-9-20 @1.65v
850W XFx power supply
Any help please
6 DIMMs eh?
I'd be plumping for some voltages needing to be raised slightly to handle them :)
according to the spd tables they default to 1.5v dunno what ocz were smoking when they wrote them but i want some.
OCZ are still putting out waffy SPD tables?
I would have thought they had learnt by now...
up the qpi volts & maybe cpu pll
1.665v is too high for an i7 though init? :(
Have you tried swapping them about in the slots.. When I had an i7 I had problems getting it to boot so put them all in a different order and after that it worked fine..
im going to fiddle in more depth next week as i have a week of not much planned
My OCZ's don't like running at spec and have iffy SPD as mentioned above: SPD1 = 609MHz LOLQuote:
