Been running this setup for some time now without issues. I am using latest official bios and the motherboard is only seeing half of the 16gb ram installed. I have narrowed it down to the DIMM A2 and DIMM B1 (the two middle slots). All sticks work, just not in those slots. I have pulled CPU to reseat and check for bent pins but they all look factory new. The memory is Ballistix tracer 1866 XMP 1.5v memory and even at 1333 it will not recognize all 16 gigs. The UFEI bios shows only 8 gig and windows shows the same, funny thing is CPU-Z recognizes all 16 gigs. I am to the point of attempting to RMA or ditching it all together. I've seen many other Asus Z77's experience this issue and most are resolved either by fixing bent socket PINS, ground shorts and by RMA'ing the board. If anyone has any additional insight on this issue I would appreciate it. With work, soccer, family etc I have not had much time to deal with it. I mean it works fine with only 8 gigs but it is annoying.
Thanks, Todd
