Memory module installation recommendation

⚠

Important

∙

Always insert memory modules in the DIMMA2 slot first.

∙

Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less

than the amount of installed.

∙

Based on CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to

protect the CPU.

∙

To ensure system stability for Dual channel mode, memory modules must be of the

same type, number and density.

∙

Some memory modules may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value

when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial

Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Frequency to set the memory

frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.

∙

It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs

installation or overclocking.

∙

The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU

and devices when overclocking.
