Hi,
I came on tom's hardware because I found a lot of information here while digging into my issue
I know it will seem similar to other, but I didn't find or understand the solution for my problem.
I had this configuration
Asus Z170 Pro Gamin
Intel I5-6600k
4 x 4 GB Vengeance LPX 2666 Mhz (all identical)
I recently bought a I7-7700k to upgrade my configuration.
But then I can see All my four DIMMS in the Bios, but only half of it in the total:

My bios is up to date.
XMP profile is off.
I tried to clear the CMOS.
I tried sticks 2 by 2 it works fine on both dimms slots.
When I put back my I5-6600k I do have 16 Gb in total.
Of course in Windows 10 Pro I see only 8 Gb of Ram.
User Benchmark only sees 2 sticks:

When the CM detected a new CPU or if it boots on safe mode, I can see the tatal RAM correctly:

So it feels to me that my dimms and my socket are fine.
But I don't know if i didn't configure m y bios correctly or if my cpu is faulty.
I have looked around the internet and found many similar issues. But I never found a solution that worked for me.
Thank you in advance for you help.
Regards,
Charly
