I guess it might help if I RTFM. lol All the books and CDs are still in the box. lol
anyway, I put the memory in the second set of slots, the white slots, and everything is up and running great! It's nice to have a board actually fire up on the first try. I was surprised the dual channel memory worked. I'll have to get another set, or price some triple channel and sell these.
This thing runs extremely hot though. This stock cooler does a terrible job keeping things cool. It went on too easy and I think it might not be making real good contact with the CPU. I ran prime95 for an hour at stock settings and the CPU was hitting 80C!!!! I can't wait for my CPU water block to arrive today. I may have to wait to install t though as my case hasn't gotten here yet. Right now I have everything on the bench.
The only issues I'm having right now are all the temp monitors are way off. HWMonitor reads the cores from upper 40s to upper 50s, SpeedFan reads from low to upper 30s, and Everest Ultimate reads from upper 40s to lower 50s. I like the Everest readings so far! lol although I wish SpeedFan was correct, but I know it's way off as I can really feel the heat coming off that CPU cooler.
Thanks again for the help

Hello Mark
for hardware monitoring you can use Gigabyte software called EasyTune6. It's bundled on the CD with mobo and also available at Gigabyte website:

MarkJohnson:
I already tried tthat. It fails to even install correctly, and when it comes up after reboot it gives a, "Windows sockets initialization fails". I think it may still have issues with vista x64, or maybe jusst the i7 and x58?
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

Which version of EasyTune6 have you used ? B8.1113.1 ?
What is your mobo bios version ?
