I highly doubt it, the latest BIOS could possibly help but 4gb was the largest
capacity available at the time these boards were current.

That is the official memory support list. I doubt it has been updated for quite
some time however. ]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2020 19:42:31 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13946&PID=73886&title=asrock-x58-extreme-motherboard#73886 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13946&PID=73878&title=asrock-x58-extreme-motherboard#73878 Author: Jack10525

Thank you sir. I was wondering about the 3 sticks of ram and wondered it that was needed. So you don't think this board can utilize 8gb sticks? I'll see if I can find 3 4gb sticks. ]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2020 05:47:57 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13946&PID=73878&title=asrock-x58-extreme-motherboard#73878 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13946&PID=73876&title=asrock-x58-extreme-motherboard#73876 Author: Xaltar

Have you cleared CMOS? Also bare in mind that 8gb single modules were all but
unheard of when the x58 chipset came out. Your best bet is to pick up 3 4gb
modules. You want 3 because x58 runs in triple channel mode so you need 3 RAM
modules to utilize the extra bandwidth over dual channel. I would also make sure
the new RAM is 1333, that will help ensure compatibility. Another option would be
to pick up 3 more 2gb modules. ]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2020 04:31:28 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13946&PID=73876&title=asrock-x58-extreme-motherboard#73876 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13946&PID=73875&title=asrock-x58-extreme-motherboard#73875 Author: Jack10525

My brother in law had a media PC built at least 10 years ago. I think it was built on XP but had all the newer components including an i7 processor. It's since been upgraded to windows 7 and then windows 10. Both OS worked fine. Now he is asking me to upgrade the ram. So hopefully it's obvious the motherboard is an asrock x58. Originally the pc was built with 6gb of ram in 3 2gb sticks. I am trying to upgrade the ram to 16gb. I found a 16gb kit on amazon: DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 but it is not recognized by the computer and will not boot. I've tried putting the memory in different slots (there are 6) but but the pc doesn't boot. How can I find out if this memory is ok for this board? Or is the board just too old? ]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2020 03:33:34 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13946&PID=73875&title=asrock-x58-extreme-motherboard#73875
