Ah, not sure. Depends on where you bought from. I bought from NewEgg and I'm in the states. Since the item was "DOA" they give you a free shipping label and will replace at no cost.

You'll have to check with who you bought it from for their return policies.

:O, you are lucky... I bought from TigerDirect and I think they just pay for the shipping from THEIR company to my house, but I have to check. Maybe I will send an RMA to both Corsair and TD and see wich one cost me the less and takes less time to resend...

Either place, be sure to CALL in for the RMA and if you ask nice enough, properly they will send you a return label. I have even gotten newegg to cross-ship me items with paid return shipping by calling in

Guys, be sure you are setting your own QPI/Vtt (Wonder why they use QPI since P55 does not have this? Silly) I say to set this, because I know on X58 if this is incorrect (Too much or not enough) a channel can appear N/A and this just reminds me of that issue. Auto is not always correct, and never suggested really by me anyway

Hey Patou, looks like Gigabyte has a new BIOS version up, F4i. It's beta again and doesn't say anything about memory fixes though.

Edit, Ah, yeah, bodean is right, ignore that, F3f is still the latest...

So, I wanted to throw in a final update. After getting a new pair of memory sticks RMA'd out from NewEgg, looks like I'm good to go. The BIOS (and Windows) is seeing all 4 sticks of RAM for 8 GB total.

Even though Memtest showed all the sticks as good and the chips all showed up in the BIOS, the board must be really sensitive to any problems with the memory and was disabling those slots. So, if you're still having the problem Patou, you should probably RMA your memory and get a new pair.

I have this exact same problem with my P55UD4P and 4x2gb Corsair XMS 1600mhz ram.

Mobo and software detect all 4 slots filled, but only the first 2 slots show up as enabled, giving me only 4gb of RAM.

I've shuffled them around heaps and can't seem to isolate a faulty stick. :(

Did you try putting them in one or two at a time? Definitely harder to pinpoint what's bad with all four sticks in.

its best to test with one stick,test it in each slot it should boot up in every slot....do this with every stick that way youll know its either a dead ram module or a faulty slot...if it boots with a different stick in the same slot then its the ram module thats blown

I tried every stick by itself and they all got in to Windows. :o

I haven't yet tried every stick in every slot. I'll do that shortly..
