1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,520 got a quick update on uh detecting the 24 gigs of RAM I found an article on BCC 2 00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:12,920 hardware.com and uh they are talking about 24 gigs of 3 00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:14,960 RAM and detection on the ASRock x58 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:20,560 supercomputer and they said that they had to enable a an option in the BIOS 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,760 called the flexibility option in order to see all 24 gigs of memory so I'm 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:30,400 going to go ahead and see if I can find anything in the BIOS of the Rampage 3 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:36,520 Extreme like a flexibility option that will enable me to detect all 24 gigs of 8 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,079 this RAM 16 gigs is a very strange uh 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,520 thing to be locked at I mean I already looked for it but I didn't find anything 10 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,199 last time and it's based on what I'm reading it's got 11 00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:49,840 to be in there somewhere one thing I've noticed is the post takes quite a bit 12 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:55,280 longer with 24 gigs of RAM it's not a problem the system is stable but um it 13 00:00:53,600 --> 00:01:02,320 does just take a little bit longer I also tried this stuff at 1600 MHz C9 C10 14 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:05,199 1.65 volt Max and I was not able to have 15 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:09,360 any success uh setting that up so I figured hey it's worth a shot right so 16 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:15,439 why don't we just go through kind of uh one by one so CPU level up CPU level up 17 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:20,560 that's just automated overclocking sync mode okay so this allows you to use uh 18 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,200 okay not going to be relevant to what we're doing why don't we set the 19 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:29,960 overclock tuner to 20 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:31,439 manual okay OC from CPU level up okay 21 00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:35,680 okay so that's what we already saw before it just went and moved it on us 22 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:42,159 CPU ratio setting CPU configuration maybe it's in 23 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:47,759 here no we already looked in here we need 24 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,759 a20m speed 25 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:54,600 step I do not see anything in here that 26 00:01:51,799 --> 00:02:01,719 even looks remotely like what we need all of these frequency settings oh 27 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:05,360 memory configuration protect maybe 28 00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:07,240 that's what this does okay let's try it 29 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,920 because I I remember looking at this one last time and it to me that looks like 30 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,319 um a lot of the time you have to actually enable overclocking features 31 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,040 like if you like you know see how I set it to manual and all of a sudden I had 32 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:22,920 options for like uh setting the CPU multiplier stuff like that I thought 33 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,920 that that was just to prevent you from changing RAM timings or something but 34 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,519 you can see that whether that was enabled or disabled I still had those 35 00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:36,200 same memory options so why don't we see if that is what preent is preventing us 36 00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:38,440 from seeing all 24 gigs of 37 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:43,440 RAM see if I can kill some more time while we're booting up good thing I have 38 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,599 an SSD oh look and a knife so I could 39 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:50,200 open boxes speaking of opening boxes here's some unboxings that I have coming 40 00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:52,440 up soon hyperx RAM fan couple Kingston 41 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,319 ssds one of which I will be giving away so stay tuned and then I've got a Cooler 42 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:01,640 Master notebook cooler and then there's a rampage 3 Extreme box down there so 43 00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:09,519 you've seen that already all right let's see what we got here task 44 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:12,000 manager yes there we go we have 24 gigs 45 00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:17,519 of RAM so that was it it was the the protect option that enabled us to have 46 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:22,360 access to all 24 gigs of memory so why don't we see if our blend is uh still 47 00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:26,760 stay you know it's funny I'm going to have to find a new memory testing 48 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,400 program because even using prime 95 49 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:38,319 blend I can't I can't even touch I can't even touch the RAM um we've still got 20 50 00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:39,799 gigs of memory free so um yeah feel free 51 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,560 to post a comment under this video if you have any suggestions for a way to 52 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:48,599 actually stress 24 gigs of RAM other than running m test for like the 3 days 53 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:54,360 it would take to do a couple of passes thanks for checking out my video blog 54 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,360 don't forget to subscribe
