hey guys odd problem here,
so I finally get settled into my new motherboard and just now realize the amount of ram during the bios post is off, instead of reading 6144 it reads 6136 (done a lot of reading and it seems to be related to pins on the cpu socket or dimm interface not making contact). I've already tested the ram in pairs, but then I noticed another oddity cpu-z reads the full amount (both running triple and dual channel).
by this point I'm just kind of weirded out. could it be that a pin isn't making good contact with the cpu during post, but is getting enough juice after booting? I'm also thinking this may be a bios bug, but I haven't read much about other rampage iii formula owners having much trouble (then again, there doesn't seem to be a lot of owners that post regularly, lol).
currently using the rampage iii formula, i7 950, g.skill pi 1600 cl7
