Installing System Memory (Dimms) - EVGA X99 Micro2 User Manual

Installing System Memory (DIMMs)

Your X99 Micro2 has (4) 288-pin slots for DDR4 memory. These slots support
4GB, 8GB and 16GB DDR4 DIMMs. There must be at least one memory slot
populated to ensure normal operation.
The Intel X99 chipset supports quad channel
memory; supports a maximum of 64GB of
DDR4 and up to 3200MHz+ (OC) in quad
channel configuration. It is required to
populate slot 1 first
Use the following procedure to install
DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap near
the center of the DIMM slots. This slot
matches the slot on the DIMM to ensure the
component is installed properly.
Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clip on the top of the

RAM slot.
Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module

vertically into 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 Haswell-E and Broadwell-E CPUs runs at a
default frequency of 2133MHz. To achieve memory speeds above 2133MHz+
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:
