Memory module installation recommendation
DIMM2
Important
● Always insert memory modules in the DIMM2 slot first.
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
●
than the amount of installed.
Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is
●
suggested to protect the CPU.
● Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less
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
installation or overclocking.
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU
●
and devices when overclocking.
