Recently I have upgraded my system from 12GB to 48Gb, they both run ECC Registered memory (10600R and 12800R in the upgrade's case). This is all done on an older X58 Board with a x5690. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
I probably shouldve expanded my issue.Make sure you BIOS is not set manually to 1600MHZ memory speed, because processor only supports up to 1333.
Did you try putting only 1 stick of 8GB?

Was this with ECC Registered?Drop your ram down to 1066Mhz, when i dropped a x5690 in my Asus rampage 3 extreme board thats all it would handle.
Ended up swapping out to a 980x so i could run 1600Mhz. If you catch them at the right time the i7 980x can be as cheap as the xeon X5690. My 980x also OC's higher then the xeon did as well.
Thew only info I see is this MB doesn't handle 8GB modules. 4GB maxI probably shouldve expanded my issue.
I have tried with 1 Stick, and the system will Not even post, whereas i could run easily with 6*2 config of 10600R.
I saw another guy that was running a similar config of 48GBs of RDIMMs (72bit data and all) on [H]ardforum, and running 8 GB dimms on x58 is no problem, even on i7's which are hardware limited to 24Gb.
The board I am running is a P6X58-E-WS.

That's on the now outdated ASUS website, I just threw in an 8GB module and voila, worked fine.Thew only info I see is this MB doesn't handle 8GB modules. 4GB max
so what changed for it to work?That's on the now outdated ASUS website, I just threw in an 8GB module and voila, worked fine.
Look for the telltale sign on me NOT saying that i threw in an 8GB ECC module.so what changed for it to work?
So it could be an ECC ram capacity limiting?I am not an expert but most motherboards will not let you run ECC and regular ram at the same time. Its got to be one or the other. I remember one motherboard I saw limited the size of the module on ECC but not as much as the regular ram
I'm USING ECC REGISTERED, with an UNMODDED bios, on a 6*2 config of 10600R.Looked at your board again "Un-buffered Memory" means non registered also.
