EVGA Z690 CLASSIFIED (121-AL-E698)
Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
Your Z690 CLASSIFIED has (4) 288-pin
slots for DDR5 memory. These slots
support 8GB, 16GB and 32GB DDR5
DIMMs. There must be at least one
memory slot populated for the board to
boot and operate.
The Intel
Z690 chipset supports dual-
®
channel DDR5 memory, a maximum of
128GB and up to 6400MHz+ (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 DDR5
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 modul4e
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 Alder Lake-S CPUs runs at a default
frequency of 3600MHz-4400MHz, depending on the memory configuration.
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. Overclocking support may be found on our community
