Can i get by with 6gb? Probably. Shouldnt i be able to run atleast half of the amount ram this board says it supports? Most definitley! I was usung 8gb flawllesly on my oldschool s775, i should uprade and accept less ram?As you can see, at idle, sitting here typing this reply, im using 2500mb of ram. If i had 6gb installed then i'd only have 3500mb of ram remaining. Thats not much. People saying do you really need 12gb of ram? My reply to that is do you really need a 4.5ghz 24/7 quad core? Do you really need those 3-4 video cards? These boards are advertised to run 24gb, 12gb should be no problem. I spent 450 for a Classified and 350 for this UD7. They should run 12gb and be happy about doin it. If it's a memory problem and not the board, thats almost as bad. I spent $700 for this memory, it should work at 1600. It's rated for 2133. With 12gb installed, it wont even work at 1066 though. 6gb at 2000 ran overnight memtest4 with each 6gb kit. 10 hours each, no errors.Originally Posted by Andrea deluxe
Whats crazy is i havent seen any manufacturer say what the actual cause of this problem is. If its bad CPU/Socket contact like some suggest, How do i fix it? i'm using the stock mounting bracket for the beloved TRUE. No modifications. I just want gigabyte, evga, asus, or whoever to tell my why i cant run 12gb. Their board specs should read: Memory....this board supports between 6 and 24gb of DDR3. It's luck of the draw, we dont have any way of knowing how much you can actually use but in the lab we did get 24gb to work on this one board that one friday night.So give me $500 bucks for this board, dont get upset if you can only run 6gb though. You were warned....lol
ps.. I guess 9gb is a suggestion.. Better than the 6 i'm stable at now. Better than the 8 i upgraded from. Still Triple Channel. K lets spend some more :p
