Do you have the motherboard owners manual that would tell you what slots to use? If that is a 1366 socket motherboard then you want to use 1.65v ram.

yes i do have the manual and i do know what slots to install the ram in but when i install more than one card the system wont boot and yes it is the 1366 i guess im wanting to know what values i need to set the bios to manually for voltage frequency timing and all that and how i set those in the bois menu.

also so what your saying is that the cards i have wont work?
