I just completed a new build: A88M-G/3.1 A10-7700K Crucial MX200 SSD Corsair H-75 Cooler 16 gig DDR3 Ram G-Skill F3-1200CL10D-16BXL (DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 8192MBx2 CL 10 10 10 30 1.5V) My issue is when inserting ram into a1/b1 or a2/b2 I only see 8 gig single channel mode. and that's in the a1 or the a2 slot if I insert the ram in a1/a2 I see 16 gig. when I look at UEFI Avanced section at DDR3 timing I see the timing for the populated dimm slots. Can anyone offer an explanation or soluion to my problem. I have not installed OS yet, just testing system first.

Have you tried installing one stick of RAM in either of the B slots? If the system won't post with only one RAM module installed in a B slot then we know that the B slots are not registering correctly/at all. If that is the case then check your CPU for bent pins. -------------

| I thought I' let you know how it's going. I see all 16 gig in dual channel mode now. I ended up pulling the Corsair H-75 Liquid Cooler and the A10-7700K inspected for bent pins; found all ok. Reseated he CPU reinstalled the cooler, cranked it up and all is ok. Again thanks for your help. |
