Hi,
I bought the Intel DX79TO motherboard and the memory kit mentioned in the title (8 sticks of 4GB). My cpu is the 3930K (used mainly for working on 3D animation, motion design...). My power supply is the CoolerMaster SilentPro Gold 600W.
I installed the 8 sticks of memory but I couldn't boot.
After flashing the BIOS with the latest bios (v0424) I finally succeeded in installing 2 sticks at once and booting with 8GB. I tried with 4 sticks but I couldn't boot...
Is the memory I bought fully compatible with that motherboard ?
Should I change the kit for another one ?
Do I have a chance of getting all the memory sticks to work on my system ?
I'm more interested in hugh amount of memory than in very fast memory because it's for After Effects rendering and 3D rendering. So 1600Mhz memory looked good to me.
Do I first need to increase some voltages (vccio, vccsa... ?). To boost the memory controller because of the big number of sticks and the big amount of memory ?
Thank you for your help !
(I'm still in the return order timeframe so until tuesday I could send back the memory and buy another kit)
