Don't know if this is the right place for this but here'itgoes.

I installed an upgrade in my home PC from an old 775 system to the new Ivy Bridge. Everything seemed to go well, but I have a strange problem.

Install 16GB of RAM, (4GBx4) of Corsair DDR3 Vengeance RAM into my Biostar TZ77XE3. Run memtest, totally stable.OC the i5 to 4.2GHz and was checking out the temps in Speccy and Real Temp when I stumbled across this on the memory tab. I mean, the RAM is stable with no errors after 8+ hours so at this point do I even care? Is this affecting performance in any way? I tried setting the RAM to XMP in the BIOS and got the same results.

It's like that for all 4 slots in CPUZ, and Windows is showing me the full 16GB.
 
Did you get a UAC prompt when you started CPU-Z? Perhaps UAC is preventing CPU-Z access to the SPD.
 
It is probably because you are running an old version of CPU-Z. That screenshot shows 1.59. The newest version is 1.61.
