TheWolf hellshealer hey guys, i have a question for sme of the AMD users here, i built a computer for a friend with an AMD FX4170 CPU (Quad @4.2ghz stock) and an asrock 970 extreme 3 board with 8gb of ddr3 1600mhz ram and for some odd reason it can only see 3.98 usable. i have reseated the ram a few times and in different configs but it still playing up. (also the fan is stupidly annoying) any ideas on this i have played around with the settings for the ram and it still doesnt change. im thinking the CPU cooler might be too tight Its probably the operating system your using. If its a 32bit system that be the reason why. You'll need a 64bit OS to see anything over 4GB.
