Hey! I just put the RTX 3060 Ti into an old setup (i5 750, ASUS P7P55, two 2GB Kingston 667MHz RAM sticks). Honestly, it was a bit surprising. The main issue I faced is that after installing the graphics card, one of the RAM sticks vanished from the system. Slot 1 works fine, but slot 3 isn’t showing up anymore. It’s odd that Task Manager shows the RAM running at 1333MHz, which seems impossible with a 667MHz stick if only one is installed. I moved it to slot 4 for testing, but the system didn’t boot. I’m hoping someone can help me figure out what’s limiting my machine, especially since I can’t test with both sticks working at once.

No, the bios were not updated in the past 14 years.

The latest version comes from November 2012 (ASUS P7P55 LX). That seems a bit late, right?
