can you please elaborate on "can't connect"|? (ex: Physically doesn't fit, System never boots, Can't overclock all the way to 2000mhz).

Also, can you please reply with the exact corsair part number you're using?
Thx

System does not recognize 12 Gb but only 4 GB. How can i solve this. Bios update or special configuration on Bios.

Doubt you need a BIOS update for this. Most likely the modules are either not in the right slots, or they are not perfectly seated in their slots.
The former, for this board, they need to be installed in slots labeled DIMM_A1 DIMM_B1 DIMM_C1. This is basically every other slot, starting by populating the 1st slot at the edge of the board furthest away from the CPU.

Sorry for my delay here
Few questions:
Have you tried each module individually? (This is to insure each module is working)
What is telling you that 4GB is identified? (Windows, BIOS, CPU-Z - if you've not looked in the other places, please report what they are saying)
What version of Windows are you using? (please confirm 32bit or 64bit)

Edit:
What speed have you tried the modules at? (E.g., have you slowed them down from 2000Mhz?)
