Can you at least get to inside the game content? If the drivers are OK etc etc, I know that, when it comes to ARK, doesn't matter the PC you have, it will make your GPU go to 100% usage lol. The game optmization is just awful. I am pretty sure that if you find a way to set up the FPS MAX to something like 30 before opening the game, you'll be able to play. Trust me, I've been there, and I am running an ARK Server full of mods and my girlfriend ends up helping with their ark clients, this issue that you're facing is quite common.

I had problems with my X99 motherboard back in the day, because of the motherboard's M2 socket. Buy one of these and you are good to go:

Aida64 is excellent, it does report to a higher degree of "accuracy" than HWiNFO, the reason I am telling that is because I do in fact monitor a whole bunch of Windows PC's and I write the metrics to a database. But both AIDA or HWiNFO will probably do the job for you. By accuracy, I am talking about Polling rates and how often it is querying the kernel. I've been using AIDA64 shared memory feature for over four years now, and it works extremely well, I am satisfied with them. Now if you are on Linux you'll have a lot of tools out of the box to solve it.

ECC is not really the issue, the problem are the "Registered/Buffered" - "Unregistered/Unbuffered" scheme. All Registered or Buffered are indeed ECC. Edit: Ps: yeah, these are confusing as heck, but there is Non registered ECC memory.

Look at this. "Up to 512GB Ram" So maybe I will be able to use these ultra cool DDR4 sticks that are 64GB EACH lol. I sent a ticket to Gigabyte a month ago, still no response. * Support for up to 512 GB of system memory when using Registered DIMMs.

Updating AIDA64 to the latest version shows the memory as QUAD now, but CPU-Z and others shows as DUAL. Maybe because X99 mobos have 2 memory controllers? Anyway, I don't think the performance is that gr8 to be honest, my X79 system performance on memory is pretty neat too, DDR4 is a scamm Just hoping that this GA-X99 motherboard supports ECC Memory (not even Gigabyte answered me on this one). Then I will stack a lot of DDR4 and run my VM's and my Ramdisks/databases just like I wanted. Thanks man!

I tested the same kit on a G4560 and it (the G4560) performs better on Passmark, but worse on AIDA. Sending a comparison of AIDA on both, and also on Passmark, makes no sense. Also the ramdisk on the G4560 is faster than the Ramdisk running on the Xeon.

I looked every single option within the motherboard. I am wondering, does it really support?

I was not able to find such option to be honest, this bios is quite confusing but I sware I looked for anything related to Quad Channel, etc...

Hello my fellow friends. OK, so, it looks like Quad Channel is something truly impossible for me that I cannot achieve in any of my two PC's. Lets go through the Checklist of what I need to quad channel. 1. A Motherboard that supports quad channel [OK] 2. Four matching DDR3 or DDR4 sticks, same size, voltage, etc, probably a "quad" package. Identical mems. [OK] 3. A CPU that supports quad channel [OK] 4. Place the memory sticks on their desired location [OK] Log in, see CPU-Z, Passmark, Aida, whatever, show as [DUAL CHANNEL] First Setup: ASrock X79 Extreme 7 - / Xeon E5-2667 V0 / 4 Corsair Dominator sticks (a 32GB Kit) Dual Channel - Worked! Tri Channel - Worked! Quad Channel - HELL NO! Shows as "Dual Channel". Second Setup: GA-X99-UD5 WIFI / Xeon E5-4655 V3 / 64 GB Kit from Gskill (4x 16GB) sticks DDR4 3200, running at lower @ because of the processor. Any clue why I cannot run quad channel? Am I simply not meant for it? Thank you all guys!
