Installing System Memory (Dimms) - EVGA Z590 FTW WIFI User Manual

EVGA Z590 FTW WIFI (121-RL-E597)
Installing System Memory
(DIMMs)
Your Z590 FTW WIFI has (4) 288-pin slots
for DDR4 memory. These slots support
4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB DDR4
DIMMs. There must be at least one
memory slot populated for the board to
boot and operate.
The Intel Z590 chipset supports dual-
®
channel DDR4 memory, a maximum of 128GB and up to 5100MHz+ (OC).
You must first populate the even-slots (2, 4) and then the odd-slots (1, 3). 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 both 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 Rocket Lake-S CPUs runs at a default
frequency of 3200MHz, while most Comet Lake-S CPUs run at a default
frequency of 2933MHz. Achieving memory speeds above the CPU's default
speed 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:
