After 2 years of running this 920 I've finally been struck by the memory bug.
Currently the rig will either boot in two modes. 1.99GB Mem Usable, or 3.99 GB Mem Usable.
Read RJohnson's post, 
 
Edit: Via ELeet it's also showing my memory in Dual Channel Config. 
 
MCH Strap is correct.
Tried the TRL +2 Setting
64Bit? Oh yes, Win7 64Bit
Memory Low Gap actually caused a reboot loop.
Each stick passed when installed one at a time install and with all 3 installed with Memtest.
They also passed in my other X58 Machine.
Even though the 920 has been in that socket over a year I checked it anyway, the pins are good.
It started under an older BIOS (Don't remember which) But newest didn't help either.
 
I've gone down 30 hops on the BClock, didn't make a difference. The OC is still stable which seems odd, but ok. It passed Intel Burntest on all 8 cores for 3hrs.
 
Suggestions?

    In msconfig > Boot > Advanced Option make sure the radio buttom next to Maximum memory is unchecked.

    Hello,
     
    Have you tried loosening the heatkiller?
     
    It can flex the board causing poor contact.

    You said you have tried +2 on the tRL, but have you tried +1 and the other settings. I need +1 for mine to show.

    EVGA, Corsair, and Intel all requested RMA, Guess I will tear it down this weekend and ship everything out. Maybe with a full array of RMA this problem will go away. On the flip side, maybe I will finally be able to ditch this C0 I7 for a newer revision and get a better chip.
