[SOLVED] Asus P6T Deluxe V2 black dimm slots not working

[hotcore]

So i got this motherboard/cpu/ram bundle for really cheap and it came with 3x8gb (24gb in total)
The black dimm slots do not work, 1,2 or 3 sticks, doesn't matter
Now the thing is, if i put one ram in the orange slots which work and then put the other one in the black, the pc WILL post, but only the ram from the orange slot will be detected.

This leads me to believe that this motherboard wants an EPS 8 pin connector (i have only 4) in order for all slots to work since i had the same problem with the other gigabyte board. Is it that simple or im missing something? The seller said all slots work but he had the EPS plugged in

EPS is for CPU, not for ram
as for ram modules, in mainboard user manual it says how to connect them

Thank you! Now with 4 dimms installed (2+8+8+2) with one dimm in the first black slot it detects 20gb of ram nicely. I thought that any ram slot would work under any circumstances like with more traditional dual channel boards. Thanks again
