final comment on this board and the issue of memory only showing the first 2 dimm slots. I saw a post while looking for a Zeon compatible X58 motherboard with triple channel capability. for those with the power to do it THIS NEEDS TO BE A STICKY SOMEWHERE....If you are using 4 dimms on a Zeon in an X58 MB, the dimms MAY need to be placed in slots 3,4,5,and 6...NOT !,2,3, and 4. The Tell is slots one and 2 will be the only ones that show.
Also now all 24 gigs IE all 3 channels are working on my board for some reason until I populated it 2 then 4 then all 6 it wouldn't recognize any but the first 2. example, first I did 8 gig in slots 1 and 2, then I did 16 in slots 3 4 5 and 6, then I populated all 6. Weird...but hey it works.
Still working on the not playing nice with the ELEET software, but now it's a challenge....I SOOO love a challenge in the form of a puzzle.
P.S. don't ask what I did to deal with the damaged pin in the socket...lets just say if it was anyone else's machine and I didn't have a spare processor I would have recommended a new MB...it's janky but it works. I also found out the pin involved temp monitoring and something else not memory.
