EVGA Z490 FTW (122-CL-E497)
Installing System Memory
(DIMMs)
Your Z490 FTW 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
Z490 chipset supports dual-
®
channel DDR4 memory, a maximum of 128GB and up to 4400MHz+ (OC).
You must first populate either the even-slots (2, 4) or 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 the 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 Comet Lake-S CPUs runs at a default
frequency of 2933MHz on 10- and 8-core processors, but only 2666MHz on
6-core processors. 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:
