Thanks to everybody for sharing information! Finally I got my own RE installed and now it is my turn to ask for your help.
I can not get two stick of my 2x2GB dominators to boot - it hangs with a black screen and the LCD poster says Det DRAM. Every time I boot with one stick after not being able to boot with two stick the post screen tells me overclock failed pres F1 bla bla indicating some setting is not right when using two sticks). Both sticks work fine if I only use one stick (in slot B2) and the memory I use are on Corsair's compatible list for this motherboard. I always put both sticks in the white slots (A2/B2). I have the stock heatpipe with the TIM replased with MX-2 everywhere and the washer mod. I have not tried to OC yet, only set basic settings manual (disabled all the CPU stuff and all onboard devices except LAN1). This problem is there both with BIOS 0301, 0403, and 0501 (the latter is what I use now).
My memory use Samsung IC, their SPD is 8-8-8-24-2T at 1.8V. Unfortunately I do not have other memory around to test.
I suppose I have overlooked some little setting or trick but I hope I have tested the most common things and therefore "qualify" for asking for help.
I have tried to leave all settings in Extreme Tweaker on Auto except CPU ratio and FSB (to prevent it from setting FSB to 450 automatically) and gradually setting things manual to the point below:
My settings:
