Old-2-New Folding Machine

Just recently resurrected a old mobo of mine with a LGA 1156 socket on it. did some work and here are my specs.

Mobo: Asus P7P55D
CPU: i5 750 overclocked to 3.5GHz @ 1.3v
GPU: 2x Asus GTX 560 TOP OC
PSU: 700watt cheapo.
Cooling: Thermaltake 760 Plus for CPU only, GPUs are on air.
OS: on a 90Gb SSD from Corsair's Force 3 Series. Running Win 8.1
Ram: 3x2Gb Corsair XMS3

Reason: To Fold, hence why im in this forum section with it.

Problems occurred:
Broke my watertank on the 760plus, i stressed it too much during a cleaning i twisted it with the pump as leverage on accident. i had to reglue it back, now its soo sketchy having it live on tho... i dont want leaks. 
the MOBO  and ram was used in AquaPC therfore was covered in oil. i managed to clean most of the oil.
I also noticed one of my pins in the mobo socket was slightly bent up in the corner of the socket. after a gentle push with a small eye glass screw driver, it sadly well fell out. didnt even get it over to where it needed to be. but yes im still running with it. and for some reason even overclocked. i was simply surprised when the system even booted. 
I also realized, windows 8.1 Reads all 6Gb of ram, but states 2Gb usable, not sure how to correct this.

Wow - glad you got it up and running - sounds like some real hassles there! :)

 

I assume you are running Win 8 x64 correct? Maybe something else has the ram sucked up... checked in task manager to see if anything hogging it?

yes running 8.1 x64, nothing is using the ram. as only 2GB is able to be used. yet the windows-system reads all 6. here ill screen shot it and post.

It's only a guess, and it's probably not right, but maybe that pin that fell out had something to do with the memory controller?
