I'll start by saying that I'm sure this is not a G-Skill problem, but I hoped maybe you could shed some light on what's happening.

Re: Odd problem with 64GB in a Gigabyte board
Hi,
Can you check the memory size in BIOS? Are you use single 64GB memory kit(8GB x8) or mix two or more memory kits at the same time?
Please kindly provide full memory/CPU model if possible.
Here is the screenshot for X79-UD5(13w) and everything is on the right track:
Or you could take some screenshots and show us the problem.

Re: Odd problem with 64GB in a Gigabyte board
Hi Matt:
Thanks for taking the time to test that.
The 64gig is a matched set, purchased as a kit.
I have attached two images (same layout as yours) one for 13p and one for 13w. As you can see, CPUZ reports the ram correctly, but Windows does not.
The bios correctly shows 8 gig in each slot.
All my various installs however all say that the RAM is 60 gigs. My (ahem) hackintosh boots and immediately tells me my ram is mismatched. The problem goes away with bios 13p.

Re: Odd problem with 64GB in a Gigabyte board
Hi,
As the attached files, please try to remove all of the memory modules, and switch all of the DIMMs.
And we've try both 3930/3970 but couldn't seem the issue as yours, if remove/switch couldn't correct the issue,
use the XMP settings and slightly raising VCCSA and VTT to about 1.200-1.250V for another try.

Re: Odd problem with 64GB in a Gigabyte board
I thought I'd add one more update before I go back to 13p.
I had been looking in the MIT Status page in the bios for the ram specs. On that page the system reports 65536 ram, which is correct. On the system info page the ram is reported as 61440. Two different locations in the same bios reporting different ram. It must be a Gigabyte bug, though I can see that the ram in your machine appears to work fine. Is this a compatibility issue?
