Hi, I just purchased some older 4GB DDR3 Hyper X RAM for my old workstation. I noticed something odd—when installed, it shows 10GB instead of the expected 12GB. I understand it’s best not to mix different brands, especially with three different manufacturers, but I’m unsure how to fix this. My system is an HP Z210S with a second-gen i7 2600 CPU. Any advice?

The missing piece is the storage capacity of the third stick. The total mentioned is 8GB, so the third one should add up to that amount.

I noticed you had one 1x4GB Patriot stick, two 2GB HP sticks, and later added a 4GB Hyper X stick.

They purchased two separate 4GB sticks at different times, each with distinct OEM memory. At one point you had the 2x2GB OEM, and another time a 4GB stick in the system, which functioned correctly. Recently, you added a second 4GB stick, expecting it to show 12GB, but only registered 10GB.
