Ok so I have two sticks crucial ballistix sport ddr4 2400 2x8

and two avexir core series also DDR4 2400 2x8

 

the avexirs are not being used. They show up in bios but then it says 19gb reserved memory when I go to task manager.

 

is there a way to fix this?

 

thanks!image.jpgimage.jpg

I'm pretty sure they would need to be running at the same speeds and latency for them to work at all. What happens when you set your memory to the absolute stock speed of 2133 Mhz?

 

Also, make sure you have them in the correct slots since it appears you have an X99 board?

What Carclis said. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't

 

A good thing to do is, set both the kits to the same speed, timings, and maybe even voltage. A good thing to check too is the memory chips are made by the same manufacturer (SK Hynix or Samsung).

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."
