FIX for half or wrong amount and speed memory issue in El Capitan

[adrieno]

Hello guys,

I have read a lot of thread to found a solution for my problem of memory.
I have a GA-Z170M-D3H from Gigabyte, with a i7 6700k and El Capitan 10.11.5 (updated 2 days ago). My profil is setup as iMac 17,1 due to Skylake configuration.

As many of you About this Mac doesn't display the correct amount of memory, just half ! I have 2x8Go of Crucial Sport LT DDR4 2400 and El Capitan says 2x4Go .... I have search for a lot of solutions to solve this issue and finally found one who worked for me ! I would have to share it with you.

1. Go to Clover Configurator and mount your EFI.
2. Go to Install/Update Clover and Click Check Now.
3. Clover Configurator will display your version (version will be the same than in Unibeast Installer) and it will display the last version available : 3526
4. Just update it and reboot.

It has worked perfectly on my configuration. OSX finally detect the correct size of memory ! And more...
I do some test : I modify the memory speed in bios from 2400 to 2533 and OSX update correctly this value !!!
Same test forward : 2533 to 2400 and the update is correctly display in About this Mac !!!

Hope it will work for you

Edit : please let me know if it works for you, and do some test by adding or removing memory to check if this solution work perfectly or not !!!

Hello, Adrieno!

I just wanted to let you know that this worked for me, too! My machine said it had 16GB - 4x4GB sticks, and now it says I have 4x8GB sticks!

Thank you!
