    I don't think this is a windows issue, as he said its showing the problem in BIOS as well

    Sure probably I use just the header "Rampage series M/B to post all because I have R3E and now R4E is new today. so im not just crying about what went wrong im just celebrating what did work out and that im very thankful for the advise and the wealth of support here . I will take the time to learn more about the "offical rules". honestly im 39 and in this last couple of days i have posted more than anyother forum in my entire life. I dont do these forums really to tell you the truth, I dont facebook or TWAT.

    Sounds like that is just not the matching pair which results in the conflict you are seeing (else they may be sold in the set of 8).
    Modern Intel processors has the habit to simply disable one or more DRAM slot/channel when it finds any DRAM problems during DRAM training processor at POST, which leads to what has happened to your system now.

    The quickest solution is to go back to Corsair and swap them for a full 8 DRAM kit, then you should be able to get it working.
    Alternatively, you can try to relax the DRAM timing a bit, or raise the VCCSA to gain a little more margin in the CPU integrated memory controller to give you more chance of using this 2 sets of 4 DIMMs at the same time.

    Finally I have traced some problem on C2,D1,D2 ram slots.....
    If I install the ram in A1,A2,B1,B2,C1......that is ok....20gb is recognized Windows and bios show.
    but try to install ram in C2/D1/D2 ram slots.............only 16gb can be recognized in windows and in BIOS

    I am sure C1, D2 are working normally...
    Before I got 2 set Corsair CMT16GX3M4X2133C9. I install samsung 1333 4G ram *4 in A1,B1,C1,D1.....Evenything is fine.

    should i rma my R4E?

    Sorry for my poor english.....

    Please take one stick of ram that you are confident is working 100% and run memtest in each of the memory slots. Use only the one stick of ram please.

    I am trying to determine if you have a memory slot that is playing up.

    Try this, not sure if this will work, but I gave it some thought when I was building my computer when I was using two different sets of memory of the same exact memory.

    Seperate out your ram from the kits it came from. Check the serial numbers of each kit. With Corsairs, each set should have a shared serial code or some sort whcih is only unique for that one kit. I know because I'm using 2 exact same 3x2GB Dominator GT kits and they have different kit numbers but their the exact same memory. When you have all 8 sticks seperated into the 2 different kits, try installing your memory in this configuration listed in my diagram below. I'm running my memory like this: _ 1 2 _ CPU _ 2 1 _ (and I have 2 sticks are spare)


    1 set of 4 sticks on all the red Sockets (this will be noted at "1" in the diagram below)
    2nd set of 4 sticks on the black sockets (this will be noted at "2" in the diagram below)

    It should look like this:
    1 2 1 2 CPU 2 1 2 1
    Make sure the EZ_PLUG is plugged in for the extra power, it's the 4pin connector.

    When I was building my computer I knew I might have a memory issue if I just loaded one side of the board with a full kit andjust take 1 from the other kit. So I balanced out the 6 sticks I had and only took 2 from each kit even though they were the same memory, but since their from two different kits, I knew I should try seperating each kit to keep within it's own channels. So I did mine in a: _ 1 2 _ CPU _ 2 1 _ setup

    I know this sounds silly because, if you buy 2 kits of the exact same memory they should technically all run without any issues, but the truth of the matter is, each kit is different and they were only tested to work as the kit came as.
