so it's time for another Voyage of Discovery edition of my lonus tech tips
video blog and this is a pretty interesting one I unboxed this recently
this is an 8 gig dim from Patriot and as
I mentioned when they uh sent me the
this 8 gig dim they actually sent me six of them and I told them that my
intention was to test it out
in ah here we are a 48 gig configuration
so my test bench here I'm just going to go ahead and boot this up let's find out if this is going to work now this is an
old BIOS on this board this is a G1 assassin xlx motherboard I'm running a
990x extreme Edition CPU I'm running
dual GTX 590s in this particular config
and I've got an SSD I've got a 1250 W
power supply this is a pretty badass machine I haven't done any overclocking
or anything cuz I want to find out if it's going to work we posted now bear in
mind this is an old BIOS so this is actually a launch BIOS on this board I
have never updated the BIOS on it so I don't know if it's going to properly
recognize the 48 gab of memory that it
has installed in it so let's uh just bear with me guys here while the system
boots up let's see if there's anything else I can say about it well this memory
is 1333 memory it runs at timings of
99924 4 it's designed for the Intel 6
series platform so really Patriots intention here in terms of what they've
tested is for you to be running this in
uh at most a 4X 8 gig configuration for
32 gigs looks like we're in Windows let's see if it's all recognized here
you guys I haven't done any configuration at the BIOS level so I
don't know what timings it's going to be running at it might auto check this out
physical memory uh no AMD Graphics installed that's fine physical memory
49 gigs so this is so much memory it's
actually like gone over the 48 and some OD Mark it's 49 gigs of memory and uh
let's see what kind of let's see what kind of timings we're running at here
let's open up Prime 95 here's what I'm going to do you guys I'm going to run
Prime 95 over the weekend using 48 gigs
of memory and I'm going to see if it's still running when I get back so this is
running at 1333 99924 just like that without any
configuration whatsoever and I will post a video for you guys when I'm back on
back in the office on Monday letting you know if this passed a weekend stability
test running with 48 gigs of RAM in an
x58 system pretty cool
