I only had 3 sticks of ram, and didn't think to try some in white, some in blue slots, so not sure if that works. I boot fine with all 3 blue used, but no combo of white slots only worked. All settings are stock, with 19xx bios (can't remember exact #). CPUZ still says triple channel ram when in windows with all blue slots occupied. Is it a board issue, or cpu issue? Its the only 1366 board I have, so can't try cpu in another board.
No problem with the board, just the builder

You MUST use the blue slots first, then when full you can use the white ones, thats just the way all x58 boards work.
