Hi
Just upgraded my processor to a FX 9590 which is running sweet at 40c and max out 59c in Battlefield 4. At same time I replaced my Patriot Black Mamba Viper ram (PV38G160C9K) 4 X 4GB 1600mhz WITH 2 X 8GB Kingston Beast Hyper X 2133mhz. Was always reading and using 16 gb. Now 1t only shows 8gb in bios installed yet in the Tools it is seeing both sticks, boot into Windows 8.1 and that says 16gb (7.48 usable) or something like that. Tried putting my Patriot back to test the slots and now only 8gb is showing in bios.
I have had the MB for 1 year and previously had a FX 8320 processor.
Anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

I was trying that but sadly in the tools they use abbreviations which do not really correspond with the memory timings area. Example being TRC which in the tools is 48 but cannot see what that would mean in the timings, the top 4 are easy enough, the rest I have no real idea what they mean. What is really puzzling me is that before my old ram worked perfect that also shows as 8gb instead of 16, I am wondering if there is a problem with the MB, I am a novice when it comes to O/C as I have always used AI suite.

Hi Chris
Still the same, the board is only seeing 8gb when 16 is installed, yet Windows sees 16 and says 7.74 is available, BTW also tried clocking the memory down to 1600mhz with same results.

Did you ever clear cmos or at least pull the cmos battery for 5 minutes or so? Sometimes that will help your bios pull it's head out of it's ****.
