I think I see what you mean. Would just running the OS cost that much RAM?

it’s reporting total physical ram...running anything wont change that. 12 looks suspiciously like 8+4. Are you sure you didnt mix up some chips?

I’m 100% sure. Ramber shows 8+8. And I think the screenshot above shows 16gb
 
Any one have any more help? At this point, its too late to send my 16GB RAM back ha, so I just want to make sure I'm utilizing all of it
