I really did not know if to post this in questions or discussions:
So, therefore, here is some info that I have come to and trying to find answers and discussion.
According to the Sabertooth X79 manual, this board supports 1600 up to 1866. They say that if you were to put 1866, that the CPU would automatically adjust everything to 1600 anyway. Then I read that Windows Home only goes up to 16G of mem (if I remember) and then if you want up to 194G (!!!) then you need to run Win 7 premium, pro, or ultimate. So, it seems that Windows obviously plays into this as well.
Ok, so, if I am not mistaken, you have your memory of choice installed albeit you have the recommended installed. Then you boot post to the BIOS and at this point is my question. If I were to have lets say 1866 @ 32G, then what is the BIOS going to say? Is it going to say that I have only 1600 installed? Therefore then, I should install the OS and then let the OS bump it up to 1866. So, the OS (system) says that I have 1866 but the BIOS has 1600. The AI tweaker is only available "after" you install an OS. Is this correct? So then how can you OC your MEM under these conditions?
Does any of this make any sense? I would appreciate some help here before I haul off and buy the Sabertooth X79. I was looking into Corsair until I read that someone had problems with the Saber not recognizing any of this and they had to download the latest BIOS.
Thanks
