Interesting. 2.3 was posted 4-14 (after I received my 2nd MB) and lists this exact problem as the reason for the BIOS update. http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=X58%20Extreme&o=BIOS

UPDATE 4-13-2010! Received new motherboard via RMA today. New motherboard boots and recognizes all 6GB of RAM. No other system components were changed. Conclusion: Motherboard problem.

This is the exact same problem and sequence of events that I went through. I have RMA'ed the motherboard and will get another one to try next week.

I tried re-setting the CPU and running at slower RAM speeds did not help at all. I was using a new 920 for what it's worth. If the second MB does not help I will try to RMA the CPU as well the 2nd time. I've relinquished myself to being patient with this system.

I'm not familiar with vvt, but yes I set the memory frequency/CAS timing/voltages to the memory spec, as well as below the memory spec. Unfortunately, newegg's RMA policy is return for the exact same item only. I'm going to try to be patient and give a second motherboard a try. If it has...

Most of the 1-star reviews on newegg are for memory problems. Examples:

I've already boxed my motherboard up for replacement, but I'm worried that it won't make any difference when others have the same problem. I'll pull it out again if someone has a potential fix before Monday. Can anyone check the BIOS to see if there are options to disable memory errors like...

They have a BIOS release with a TITLE called "OCZ3G1600LV6GK", the specific memory I am using (version 2.1). I patched to version 2.2 and it did not help (unfortunately, I forgot to verify the version I was running with by default). I don't understand the manual entry that steve is referring...

I powered up with a single DIMM and set all RAM timing and voltages according to OCZ's recommendation, then booted up with 2/3 and it still fails. It also fails if I try to lower the memory speed below the spec. As I said in my first post--I went out and bought another memory kit (Kingston)...

For me, any ram stick works in any white slot with 1 DIMM installed. With two dimms or three dimms I get the errors. I don't think there's a problem of me putting them in the wrong slot.

I have exactly the same problem and I have tried two different sets of memory: OCZ3G1600LV6GK KHX1600CD8D3K3/6GX I have also tried re-setting the CPU in the socket. At this point I assume the problem is the motherboard itself which I received yesterday, April 2 from newegg. With two sticks...
