i7 memory issue

[alsenior]

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 LOL
