    Re: Ga-ex58-extreme + 12gb ram?

    Exactly, even on Corsair's forum they say that they can't guarantee that 2 6GB kits will run at rate speeds since it isn't tested to do so.

    Wish they'd let you mail in your kits for a 12GB kit lol.

    Yeah, seems like it, doubt it's worth risking pumping that much QPI voltage just to get the small boost in performance goin from 1200 to 1600.

    Re: Ga-ex58-extreme + 12gb ram?

    Yup, mine boots, I can't remember what default is, but I keep my QPI @ 1.335v (never really tried dropping it to see if it remains stable though).

    The next highest is 1.355v which is highlighted in pink in my BIOS so I've been avoiding going...

    Tried it at 8-8-8-24 2T (rated specs) @ 1600 with [email protected] (next highest is 1.395v).

    Also had DRAM voltage at 1.66v, CPU PLL 1.88v, IOH 1.2v, ICH I/O 1.6v, ICH Core 1.2v.

    Still a no go, guess I'm stuck with my stuff at 7-7-7-21...

    Re: Ga-ex58-extreme + 12gb ram?

    Alright, I'll give that a try. RAM is rated to run stock at 8-8-8-24 2T so I'll give it a go with QPI 1.38v.

    It's stable as is with only 6GB.

    If QPI 1.38v doesn't work, do you think upping the IOH & ICH voltages would make...

    Re: Ga-ex58-extreme + 12gb ram?

    Haven't really tried that because I read that Intel's stated safe range for QPI was 1.35.

    I've tried bumping the IOH and ICH voltages up all by .1v and CPU PLL up to 1.88v.

    Do you think 1.38v for QPI would still be considered safe...

    2 6GB kits. I didn't realize there'd be issues until long after I had purchased the 2 kits.

    CPU is 3.8GHz @ 1.35v w/ 19x multiplier and 200 bclk (C0 stepping). I haven't really been able to have much success getting it to 4GHz (but haven't...

    Ga-ex58-extreme + 12gb ram?

    Anyone have any luck getting this board and an i7-920 to work at RAM rated specs with 12GBs?

    Got 6 sticks of Corsair Dominator 1600.

    Haven't been able to get them to run at 1600, have to downclock them to 1200 but have also tightened the timings to 7-7-7-21 1T.

  • Re: x-58 extreme maximum memory capacity is 6 gb?!

    I've had the same issues with mine. I have 12GB (6x2GB) of Corsair Dominator 1600.

    Runs fine @ 1600 with just 6GB, but once I put in the 2nd kit of 6GB I have to downclock it to 1200 or else my system won't boot up properly....

    Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

    F9d for the GA-EX58-EXTREME still has the keyboard issues inside of the BIOS which is strange that they wouldn't have fixed by now. Seems like it would be a simple fix.

    Also, not sure if it's something else, but has any noticed a decrease in RAID...
