Note wheninstallingthememory makesuretobeginwiththefirstsocketofeachchannel suchasddr4_2_1a 17
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory make sure that the motherboard supports the memory it is recommended that memory of the same capacity brand speed and chips be used go to gigabyte s website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules 17
Refer to the table below for memory installation according to the number of the memory modules you want to install 17
When using a 44 lane 28 lane cpu 6 core or above this motherboard supports 4 channel technology after the memory is installed the bios will automatically detectthespecificationsandcapacityofthememory theeightddr4memorysocketsaredividedintofour channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following 17

Power connector 29
The 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the computer will not start 29
To meet expansion requirements it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high power consumption be used 500w or greater if a power supply is used that does not provide the required power the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system 29
With the use of the power connector the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components onthemotherboard beforeconnectingthepowerconnector firstmakesurethepowersupplyisturned off and all devices are properly installed the power connector possesses a foolproof design connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation 29
4 cpu_fan sys_fan1 sys_fan2 sys_fan3 sys_fan4 fan headers 30
All fan headers on this motherboard are 4 pin most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design when connecting a fan cable be sure to connect it in the correct orientation the black connector wire is the ground wire the motherboard supports cpu fan speed control which requires the use of a cpu fan with fan speed control design for optimum heat dissipation it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis 30
Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your cpu and system from overheating overheating may result in damage to the cpu or the system may hang 30
