Hello,

Recently I upgraded my 12gb ram pc into 28gb, which is 8gb x 3 + 4gb.

But only found 24gb only.

I have change slot and confirm all slot is working but each time only the 4gb not detected unless I only use the 4gb with another 4gb.

Weirdly, before upgraded the pc was in 12gb with 4gb x2 + 8gb.

Also I have done the same to 3 other pc, all came out with same result, 24gb only.

Do advice on what is wrong with the setup

What i can think of is double sided and single sided RAM might not work together.
But u can try unmount and remount your processor since memory controller is on processor itself these days.

Will try that later, thank you

seems its bios related. if youre using asus mobo some said its related to ai suite issue. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/309510-3...nstalled-please

another thing https://thetechreviewer.com/tech-tips/fix-w...-installed-ram/

by the way, the user above, call me a noob but that sounds like the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard about that remounting the processor. care to enlighten me what's the point in doing this?

im not sure about such config since i have only 4x4, but you probably need to swap it around the config to test.

the other way is to get another 8gb to make it 32, or get a 4gb just to test if you need 8844 or 8484

I shall try this too later, thanks for the input

TIL. But when he tried it with 3 diff pc, im pretty sure it isnt a problem with missing or bent pin. If only on one problematic pc, reseating it might work, but i highly doubt it will work as what ive read is that it is either caused by bent pin or pins missing and that needs to be fixed by bending the pins back. If missing, too bad.

That's the weird part, but I have confirm that all slots are working except it just won't to 28gb, combination of 8gb x3, 4gb x2 + 8gb, is working perfectly fine on all slots but not 28gb
