EVGA Z370 MICRO (121-KS-E375)

Installing System Memory (DIMMs)

Your Z370 Micro has (2) 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 32GB and up to 4133MHz+
(OC). It is recommended to always use a 2 DIMM kit
for Coffee Lake-S. Fill the memory slots in the
following order: 2, then 1. See chart to the right:
Use the following procedure to install
memory DIMMs. Note that there is a key
notch 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 using the XMP profile or manual setting of the memory timings,
frequency and voltages and/or overclocking of the CPU. Using an XMP
Profile for speeds over 2666MHz is considered overclocking.
Refer to the memory manufacturer specifications for the recommended
memory timings. For overclocking support you can visit our forums:
