So I had the RAM in the wrong freaking slot...what a dope. Grr one board RMAd, for no reason. Hopefully they still credit the purchase...
The manual for that mobo is incorrect. When I followed the manual I was running in single channel as it said that slots 1&3 were one channel and 2&4 were one channel. Asus's site says it is 1&2 and 3&4 which is correct.
