Hello everyone, I'm facing an odd problem with the RAM capacity detection. I have eight 16GB sticks installed, yet only 64GB is being used out of the total 128GB. The BIOS lists 64GB available even though it detects each stick in 16GB increments. My system specs are X299X Aorus Master I9 10900x with 8GB SKILL RAM sticks, Quadro P5000, and plenty of hard drives. I've tested each stick individually across all channels, but the limit stays at 64GB. Any suggestions?

Check if the RAM on the motherboard is listed in the QVL. Have you attempted running a tool such as memtest to verify system stability?

It's confirmed. I'm planning to run memtest now.

Occasionally certain g.skill modules fail to function within 8 slots.

Memtest86 and any RAM stick work just fine. Are you sure they’re the same model?

In the game guide, the slot compatibility is shown on the right side, with columns labeled 2/4/6/8 and a symbol indicating which slots work. The list reflects only what they understand to function, not the complete range.
