DRAM accounts for just half of your total memory capacity.
DRAM accounts for just half of your total memory capacity.
I assembled my PC in early August and saw slots A1 and B2 marked as reserved. I set it aside because I only had two sticks. Last week I upgraded my RAM to 32GB and filled all slots, but now it appears full in BIOS with 32GB listed while the DRAM shows 16GB. I’ve tried everything—re-seating RAM, cleaning the ports. It seems there might be a BIOS setting I can’t locate or a faulty motherboard. I know my RAM works fine since I moved the working ones to the available slots, and the new ones in old slots are functioning. Also, when using XMP profiles to push it to 2900MHz, it no longer boots properly. Thanks to anyone who is willing to help me out.
Hi. Do you understand that the CPU-Z data shows Slots 1 and 4 as dual ranks, while Slots 2 and 3 are single ranks? Also, it mentions variations in chip manufacturers. Are you using different kits? Consider swapping the RAM sticks in Slots 3 and 4 to test the results.
the specs and model match; the bios has been reinitialized several times after installing the new modules. i question whether updating the bios would resolve the problem, but i suspect the issue might lie with the motherboard instead of the ram.
Both seem to function well, especially with 16GB storage on two sticks. It’s puzzling why slot 4 is working now while others aren’t.
