I don't know if this is an issue or not.

I have 16GB of RAM installed (2x8GB). In DXdiag it says I have 16,384 MB (8192 x 2), but on the MAIN tab in the BIOS it says I have 16,368GB of RAM?

Tiny discrepancies from the bios reading calculation vs software calculations I think. Nothing to worry about imo, it's only a difference of 16 (negligible)

Yeah, it's weird. I seem to remember it use to say 16384 MB in BOTH Dxdiag and the BIOS. But a couple of days ago, I started to notice it saying 16368 MB in the BIOS, but it still says 16384 in Dxdiag.

Well I called Corsair and they said "don't worry about it". If it gets to where it's showing only half the installed RAM, then just RMA it.

Good customer service there! =]

Well that happens when you age...
O I mean good luck

Maybe reserved ram for XMP profile that one doesn't account for?

Yeah, and maybe it isn't. This just changed like 3-4 days ago, without my help. :/

/e The really weird thing ois that usually Windows is wrong and the BIOS is right. This is the first time I've see Windows right and the BIOS wrong.


/ee In fact I don't see how the BIOS could say 16368 and Windows say 16384. I mean wtf is Windows doing, making it up as it goes along?

1024 x 16 = 16384.
