Unfortunately, I spoke a little too soon and I didn't manage to put 12GB of get all 3 sticks of my G Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9-12GBRL, DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 4GBx3, CL9-9-9-24 installed in slots 1-3 &5 working. I am now running 2 sticks very good stability but when I place the 3rd stick in slot 5, I get a number of error codes, like bad configuration that prevents a complete boot into Windows 10. I know that all three sticks are good since I've tested them all. In the BIOS settings, I set to the XMB setting but that is the only change I made in the BIOS settings. This is maddening since two of the sticks in slots 1 & 3 work perfectly. I realized after I bought the above 12GB G Skill kit that it was 1600 frequency instead of the supported 1333 as is set forth in the X58 SLI manual. I don't suppose this has any effect on why the 3rd stick won't work in slot 5.
Is there some other settings in the BIOS that would make the 3rd stick in slot 5 work correctly?
Thanks in advance for any assistance I could get.
