Installing System Memory (Dimms) - EVGA Z370 FTW User Manual

EVGA Z370 FTW (134-KS-E377)

Installing System Memory (DIMMs)

Your Z370 FTW has (4) 288-pin slots for
DDR4 memory. These slots support 4GB,
8GB and 16GB DDR4 DIMMs. There
must be at least one memory slot populated
for the board to boot and operate.
The Intel Z370 chipset supports dual-
®
channel DDR4 memory, a maximum of
64GB and up to 4133MHz+ (OC). You
must populate even-slots (2, 4) first. The
board will not boot if only odd-slots (1, 3)
are populated. See chart below:
Use the following
procedure to install
memory DIMMs.
Note that there is a
small gap near the
center of the DIMM
slots. This matches
the gap on a DDR4
DIMM to ensure the memory is installed properly, and to prevent the
incorrect installation of memory.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the top-side module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module
perpendicular to the DIMM slot, pressing straight down to seat the
module. The plastic clips at top side of the DIMM slot automatically
lock the DIMM into the connector.
Note: The memory controller on most Coffee Lake-S CPUs runs at a default
frequency of 2666MHz. Achieving memory speeds above 2666MHz+ may
require manual setting of the memory timings, frequency and voltages and/or
overclocking of the CPU.
Refer to the memory manufacturer specifications for the recommended
memory timings. For overclocking support you can visit our forums:
