Triple channel DDR3 on DFI LanParty DK X58 T3eH6

[kerussm]

Hi, this time I have another problem with my girlfriend PC. She have this motherboard DFI DK X58-T3eH6 Living Review

When I start CPU-Z in memory tab I see only Dual channels.

She's ddr3 is:
Patriot PVT36G1333LLK
DDR3 1333MHz (7-7-7-20)
6GB (3x2GB) Kit, 1.65V


What can I do to do it on Triple channel? Anyone know what I have to change ?
I can do some good quality pictures of bios if it will help.

1 reseat the cpu and check for any bent pins
2 clean the memory slots
3 chek if a memory stick not dead

[Linus]

zsamz is 100% right. Probably the problem is a bent pin in the CPU socket.

Ok. I've done all of these. Reseat CPU, there was no bent pins like I suposed to because mobo is brand new. All slots are clean, memory stick's are brand new also. I was trying to put only one and just like that I check all three dimms. I take out battery from motherboard for few minutes. Now I have to set this thing up. Can anyone help?

CPU: i7 930
CPU Cooler: Scythe Yasya
Memory: Patriot PVT36G1333LLK DDR3 1333MHz (7-7-7-20), 6GB (3x2GB) Kit, 1.65V

GPU: Asus EAH4890

first you don't got all ram slots filled with same ram for triple to work.

get another KIT... Patriot PVT36G1333LLK to fill rest of slots (3) for a total of 12Gb of ram with 2Gb in triple mode
note yellow green slots are the tri-pairs

[zsamz_]

the ram in green slots?

set vdimm to 1.65v
bump ioh to 1.15-1.2v

Kapt K is wrong, you don't need all DIMM's filled up. Have to read your motherboard manual but I believe zsamz are correct, RAM in the green slots should = triple channel.

Yes, all three dimms are in green slots because the cooler on CPU i too big to use yellow slots.

Read the mobo user guide. It will tell you which slots to put in for triple or dual channels. I suspect you need to start with slot 1.

The architecture can only be used when all three, or a multiple of three, memory modules are identical in capacity and speed, and are placed in three-channel slots. When two memory modules are installed, the architecture will operate in dual-channel mode

read OP, ram thought had 2 of 3gb
