Important
Always insert a memory module in the DIMMC1 slot first.
y
To ensure system stability for Dual/ Triple/ Quad channel mode, memory modules
y
must be of the same type, number and density. And for every channel, the odd number
DIMM slot must to be installed first.
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
y
than the amount of installed.
Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is
y
suggested to protect the CPU.
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less
y
for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we
recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than
4GB memory on the motherboard.
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs
y
installation or overclocking.
The stability and compatibility of installed memory modules depend on installed CPU
y
and devices when overclocking.
