got a quick update on uh detecting the 24 gigs of RAM I found an article on BCC
hardware.com and uh they are talking about 24 gigs of
RAM and detection on the ASRock x58
supercomputer and they said that they had to enable a an option in the BIOS
called the flexibility option in order to see all 24 gigs of memory so I'm
going to go ahead and see if I can find anything in the BIOS of the Rampage 3
Extreme like a flexibility option that will enable me to detect all 24 gigs of
this RAM 16 gigs is a very strange uh
thing to be locked at I mean I already looked for it but I didn't find anything
last time and it's based on what I'm reading it's got
to be in there somewhere one thing I've noticed is the post takes quite a bit
longer with 24 gigs of RAM it's not a problem the system is stable but um it
does just take a little bit longer I also tried this stuff at 1600 MHz C9 C10
1.65 volt Max and I was not able to have
any success uh setting that up so I figured hey it's worth a shot right so
why don't we just go through kind of uh one by one so CPU level up CPU level up
that's just automated overclocking sync mode okay so this allows you to use uh
okay not going to be relevant to what we're doing why don't we set the
overclock tuner to
manual okay OC from CPU level up okay
okay so that's what we already saw before it just went and moved it on us
CPU ratio setting CPU configuration maybe it's in
here no we already looked in here we need
a20m speed
step I do not see anything in here that
even looks remotely like what we need all of these frequency settings oh
memory configuration protect maybe
that's what this does okay let's try it
because I I remember looking at this one last time and it to me that looks like
um a lot of the time you have to actually enable overclocking features
like if you like you know see how I set it to manual and all of a sudden I had
options for like uh setting the CPU multiplier stuff like that I thought
that that was just to prevent you from changing RAM timings or something but
you can see that whether that was enabled or disabled I still had those
same memory options so why don't we see if that is what preent is preventing us
from seeing all 24 gigs of
RAM see if I can kill some more time while we're booting up good thing I have
an SSD oh look and a knife so I could
open boxes speaking of opening boxes here's some unboxings that I have coming
up soon hyperx RAM fan couple Kingston
ssds one of which I will be giving away so stay tuned and then I've got a Cooler
Master notebook cooler and then there's a rampage 3 Extreme box down there so
you've seen that already all right let's see what we got here task
manager yes there we go we have 24 gigs
of RAM so that was it it was the the protect option that enabled us to have
access to all 24 gigs of memory so why don't we see if our blend is uh still
stay you know it's funny I'm going to have to find a new memory testing
program because even using prime 95
blend I can't I can't even touch I can't even touch the RAM um we've still got 20
gigs of memory free so um yeah feel free
to post a comment under this video if you have any suggestions for a way to
actually stress 24 gigs of RAM other than running m test for like the 3 days
it would take to do a couple of passes thanks for checking out my video blog
