What it says in your manual will be correct. What it says on the website will most likely be with the latest BIOS version. I had to upgrade my BIOS for this CPU so if you upgrade yours, you should be able to put all that RAM in.

If it were me, I`d contact Asus and ask them mate, before doing anything else.
