Just for some helpful information.
I replace my cpu cooler H50 with a H80. What I use to have at idle temps now I have to put a 50% load to get. 100% load tops out after 1 hour at a average of max 61C.
P6X58D-E
12gigs of Kingston 2000 O/C
Did a Repair Install to clean up some things I screwed up doing beta test.
Then decided to continue to check out things and found that my system would see 12 gigs of ram and then 8 gigs of ram and then 10 gigs of ram.
Windows sees the ram just like the bios sees the ram.
CPU-Z always sees 12 gigs. Memtest 86+ always sees 12 gigs of ram. Confusing.
While doing many hours of Memtest86 I was doing some research and found on the Asus Forum some good info. Good hell it was great info. It fixed my problem and made my system run cooler.
Memtest86+ 13.5 hours and all ram passed.
** I had installed the new cooler to tight.
Puts to much pressure on the cpu where the memory controller is and puts to much pressure on the motherboard which effects the two ram slots closes to the cpu.
**Summery:
Backed the tightness off the cpu cooler and ram is indicated in all places 12 gb as it should and it lowered the cpu temps.
I hope this information help someone.
