16GB Ram But Only 7.98GB usable any ideas?
Build a custom build pc at christmas with 16GB ram and a big graphics card fancy case etc etc.
But when i go into the system it says 16GB ram But only 7.98gb is usable. Any suggestions on what this might be or how to fix it? |

Also, how are your 16 GB's splitted?
4x 4GB? 2x 8GB? |

Dimm slots are the slots that you put the RAM into, if you put them in them in the wrong arrangement then RAM might not work... Make sure that you put them in slots 2 and 4 first (if you don't know which ones are which, consult the manual).
