I have an issue with my motherboard and memory.  I cannot get my installed memory and total physical memory to match.
(edit - I see you cannot paste images into message..)
Installed RAM: 12GB
Total RAM: 10GB
 
I have 6 of these installed in the mobo -
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
http://www.newegg.com/Pro...x?Item=N82E16820145224
 
Here are my CPU-Z screens (if that helps)

 
 

 
Is there something I can do to fix this?
 
Thanks!

    Two things I notice (I am no expert at RAM)
    1. Your RAM is only running at 1060 (530.7x2= 1061)
    2. Your Cycle time tRAS is at 20 clocks and it should be at 24.
     
    It appears you need to set your RAM timings and maybe a few other things in your BIOS but I will defer to those who are more up on this than I am.
    What is the voltage you have set for your RAM?  It should be 1.65.  The X58 may default to 1.5.  I am not sure but you should check it.
    Good luck.

    So, I updated the latest bios and here are the results.   I am still seeing 2GB reserved memory but I am unsure what to do next.  Is this a problem with the x58 motherboards and will it be fixed if I buy another motherboard?

    I see 12 gigs of RAM now and your timings are better.  What am I missing?

    Usually with all 6 slots filled, you need to go up on your vtt. voltage. What is it set at now in your bios? CPU vtt.(supplies the voltage to your memory controller)
    I would say maybe around +150 to start with. Is this the first setup on the p.c., or was it running 6 gigs before?
    My suggestion is only 1 of many things that "could" be causing this, but a good place to start. There is a sticky in the top of the X58 forum that gives you some other troubleshooting tips.http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=479626&mpage=1#479626
    Seme basics for your 12 gig setup, even though it's based around running 6.
