SOS (take that two ways)
Have a ASUS Sabertooth X58 socket 1366 board. Intel Core i-7 3.05 CPU (i think 940). Trying to populate the Mobo with three 2 gig F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ SIMMs G Skill (1600). That second slot just does not want to stand up and be counted.
The DRAM sticks are fine when I swap them around. Memory slots 1 3and are fine. I put 3 2 gig Simms in and the Mobo (Windows and CPU-Z) sees 4 gig. I use single Simms is all slots, and slots 1 and 3 work fine, 2 doesnt. I have read every FAQ and board around, tried all voltages, all configs, all timings....nothing on slot 2.
Gotta be the quirky X58 Mobo and ASUS appears to make the most heinous ones to get up and going (look at the Newegg ratings). This has been about 20 hours work at least.
1. With everything i have, the Mobo should be RMAed and try another, but not ASUS. Tired of that. Maybe Gigabyte or EVGA?
2. I have an ASUS Socket 1155 Sabertooth. That appears to be more stable. In this case I have to RMA the I-7 and get another socket 1155 CPU Core I-7.
BTW< G Skill looks to have great customer support.
