LOL the memory controller is in your CPU not on the board anymore, so if your problem is the memory controller then your gonna have the same problem with the ASUS board im affraid.
You really should of posted before you sent the board back, when running 12gb of RAM a simple boost to the QPI/VTT voltage normally sorts the problem out, I think 1.4v QPI/VTT or there abouts is required to run 12gb of RAM, if then your gonna overclock you will need even more.
Well then Gigabytes tech support must have it wrong then, as they stated in broken english: "
Answer: Thank you.

Question : I tried all the memory , it's brand new, I tried corsair memory as well and it works in my other computer just fine. I cannot change the memory voltage because I cannot enter M.I.T., are you not reading what I'm telling you? How can I change memory voltage without entering the BIOS screen to CHANGE ANYTHING?

Answer : Dear customer,
Could be one of the memory was bad cause issue, disconnect all drive cable and remove all memory from mother board, take onboard cell battery out for 5 sec clear CMOS , put in single stick memory on whitte color slot close to cpu, plug in a PS2 or USB wire keyboard, check if system can boot into bios setting, reset bios to load fail-safe defaults and load optimized defaults.
Mother board bios memory voltage setting is base on 1.5v ( default voltage ), please check current model memory voltage spec (check memory module label), if memory is higher than 1.5v spec, go in bios under M/B intelligent tweaker on memory voltage control item adjust memory voltage match.
For example: current memory is 1.7v, go in bios M/B intelligent tweaker on memory voltage control item change to 1.7v.
Swap out other stick memory on same slot test again, if board still not able boot into bios setting, this can help to find out if one of the memory was not stable cause issue.

Question : I cannot enter the MB intelligent tweaker (M.I.T.) in BIOS, I hit enter, the screen appears, the words *start* to fill the screen then it freezes...every...single...time, sometimes it gets further than others, but majority of the time it freezes immediately. Please help me! When is a BIOS update coming out??
I am very aware that the memory needs more voltage, but without being able to enter the M.I.T. BIOS screen where you can change settings for voltages, I was stuck in a catch 22.
As I stated before I tried changing voltages via third party software and even the included Gigabyte tuner software, but changing any settings resulted in endless POST loops.
I will also report back if i have any other problems since rev. 1.0 seemed to give people a lot of trouble.
