After we had so good results in upgrading the MB to 8GB DDR3-RAM, as seen here:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/286058-30-gigabyte-p35c-ds3r-ddr3#4364713

I am now very curious if someone tried to put in 2x8GB = 16GB DDR3-RAM.

I tried it myself, yet, but it doen't work.

Perhaps was only the RAM incompatible?
Perhaps had someone else better results in trying 1600MHz DDR3?
Perhaps I can simply motivate someone else to try some 8GB-Module and he'll be the luckyone, that would have the right-ones?
PLs report here!

So you only officially can install total 4GB DDR3 or 8GB DDR2, here is from gigabyte website:
"DDR3: 2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 4 GB of system memory, dual channel memory architecture, support for DDR3 1333*/1066/800 MHz memory modules.
DDR2: 4 x 1.8V DDR2 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory, dual channel memory architecture, support for DDR2 1066*/800/667 MHz memory modules."

If you can use the 8GB DDR3 then you are lucky one, because I think you really had BIOS fooled once, it has some kind the backdoor error something like that. I had been read other post like the x58 MB, which has 6 slots, max ram is 24, but someone can use the 3X8GB RAM set. I don't think you can have the BIOS fooled twice by using the 16GB DDR3 1600MHz.

Hey cin19,

yes you are right, the chance to fool the BIOS a second time is thery low.
I thought about taking DDR3 1600MHz-Ram and let it run with 1333MHz, at this point I was not clear...
