mainboard Asrock x58 extreme LGA 1366, bios version 2.60
cpu Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz
memory G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ
After trying to install this triple channel memory kit in dimm slots a1 b1 c1 the bios
reading shows 4 gb memory dual channel with slot a1 listed as empty, b1 and c1
filled. If I swap my 3 dimm modules around these three dimm slots, I still get the
same thing, slot a1 empty, slots b1 and c1 with 2gb installed each. I thought that
this memory was compatible, but I get the strange bios reading described above
as well as only 4gb capacity displayed instead of 6gb.
What Gskill memory, preferably roughly equivalent to F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ, would
be most compatible to run triple channel mode in the Asrock x58 extreme board?
(The memory recommendation sheet on the product website is confusing to read)
edit, I did look at the I4memory.com page listed in sticky thread
http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=5136 above, but there
wasn't anything pertaining to Asrock boards.
