Man I looked up in the manual twice before installing RAM to make sure I had it in the right spot.
I first got the board and said "Man it will be really gay if the whole board is bloack, and I have to put RAM in the black slots so the green ones stick out."
Read the manual, and that is what I saw. Put the ram in the black slots. Checked again. Tried booting with one stick. Finally moved it to last DIMM slot (a green one) and it fired up.
Still does the F3-F6 post things 3 times, but it fires up now
Going to rip off the stock cooler, put the water back on and pray to god I can figure out all these new crazy BIOS settings.
