24GB of RAM Detected in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on the Rampge III Extreme Linus Tech Tips

2010-06-03
got a quick update on detecting the 24 gigs of RAM I found an article on BCC hardware comm and they are talking about 24 gigs of ram and detection on the ass rock X 58 supercomputer and they said that they had to enable a an option in the BIOS called the flexibility option in order to see all 24 gigs of memory so I'm going to go ahead and see if I can find anything in the bios of the rampage 3 extreme like a flexibility option that will enable me to detect all 24 gigs of this ram 16 gigs is a very strange thing to be locked out I mean I already looked for it but I didn't find anything last time and it's based on what I'm reading it's got to be in there somewhere one thing I've noticed is the post takes quite a bit longer with 24 gigs around it's not a problem the system is stable but that does just take a little bit longer I also tried this stuff at 1600 megahertz c9 c10 1.6 5 volts max and I was not able to have any success setting that up so I figured hey it's worth a shot right so why don't we just go through kind of one by one so CP level up if you level up that's just automated overclocking sync mode okay so this allows you to use okay not going to be relevant to what we're doing why don't we set the overclocked tuner to manual okay so see from CPU level up okay so that's what we already saw before it just went and moved it on us CPU ratio setting CPU configuration maybe it's in here no we already looked in here they need a 20 M speed step I do not see anything in here that even looks remotely like what we need all of these frequency settings Oh memory configuration protect maybe that's what this does okay let's try it because I remember looking at this one last time in it to me that looks like a lot of the time you have to actually enable overclocking features like if you like you know see how I set it to manual and all of a sudden I had options for like setting the CPU multiplier stuff like that I thought that that was just to prevent you from changing Ram timings or something but you can see that whether that was enabled or disabled I still had those same memory options so why don't we see if that is what prevent is preventing us from seeing all 24 gigs of RAM see if I can kill some more time while we're booting up good thing I have an SSD oh look and a knife so I could open boxes speaking of opening boxes here are some unboxings that I have coming up soon HyperX Ram fan couple Kingston SSDs one of which I will be giving away so stay tuned and then I've got a crew the master notebook cooler and then there's a rampage three extreme box down there so you've seen that already alright let's see what we got here task manager yes there we go we have 24 gigs of ram so that was in it was that the protect option that enabled us to have access to all 24 gigs of memory so why don't we see if our blend is still staying you know it's funny I'm gonna have to find a new memory testing program because even using prime95 blend I can't I can't even touch I can't even touch the RAM we've still got 20 gigs of memory free so yeah feel free to post a comment under this video if you have any suggestions for a way to actually stress 24 gigs of ram other than running men test for like the three days it would take to do a couple of passes thanks for checking out my video blog don't forget to subscribe
