--as u can see in the ram sockets the first 2 have 2x4 2400 g skill . as i know the 2x dual ch need a dual socket lick putting the 2x4 in 1/3 or 2/4 the same colored socket but they are all black !!
the yellow ones name in bios B1 and B2 the other 2 is A1 and A2 so do i have to put it in A1/2 or B1/2 or 1x B and 1x A ?!!
--the 2x4 ram are 2400 and in bios each one is 4000 DDR3 1600 ?!!
--the sata cable i have 2 HDD and 1 DVD so i plugged the main 1tb seagate in the no:1 socket "marked with blue 1"
and the other 500gb WD blue in the sec socket below it
and the sata cable for DVD in the last one
so is that ok or the sockets have different speed and what should i do ?!!

Well........you could read the manual that came with your MB.

RAM for dual channel should be in A1 and B1 or A2 and B2


All the SATA ports are 6.0, so there is no speed difference, but

"To minimize the boot
time, use Intel® Z87 SATA
ports (SATA3_0) for your
bootable devices"


You can actually look at the manual to see which port the A3's are.


Not trying to be mean, but in the time it took you to make that picture, you could have read the manual and had all your questions answered.
