    RAM 3.25GB usable of 6GB after overclocking Q6600 to 3.60GHz


    hi guys, i kinda only get to use 3.25GB out of the installed 6GB of ram after overclocking my CPU to 3.60(400x9) from 2.40GHZ(266x9). what causes this? i overclocked it on a gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 using the bios.

    i have G.Skill 2 x 2GB PC2-6400 (400 MHz) F2-8500CL5-2GBPK in ram slots 1 and 3
    Samsung 2 x 1GB PC2-6400 (400 MHz) M3 78T2863QZS-CF7 in slots 2 and 4

    but when i am on 3.00GHz (333x9) i get to use the whole of 6GB.

    You say "but when i am on 3.00GHz (333x9) i get to use the whole of 6GB".

    As measured by what?

    Is that pic of Resource Monitor when clocked at 9 x 333 or 9 x 400?

    What makes you think you it's not disabled when clocked at 3.33?

    To repeat: show us a pic of Resource Monitor memory tab when clocked at 3.33.

    Ya, OCing a cpu should not change that at all.
