System Memory; Supported Memory Configurations - Intel DH87MC Specification

1.5

System Memory

The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
1.5 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the
•
voltage to support higher performance DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs.
1.35 V Low Voltage DDR3 DIMMs (JEDEC specification)
•
Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
•
Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
•
Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
32 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology). Refer to
•
Section 2.1.1 on page 39 for information on the total amount of addressable
memory.
Minimum recommended total system memory: 1 GB
•
Non-ECC DIMMs
•
Serial Presence Detect
•
DDR3 1333 MHz to DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
•
XMP version 1.3 performance profile support for memory speeds up to 1600 MHz
•
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.
Table 7 lists the supported DIMM configurations.
