If you only have 1 stick of RAM then it will go in the third slot from the 24-pin. If you have 2 sticks of RAM, you'll start from the slot closest to the 24-pin and put one in that slot, skip a slot, and then the second RAM stick will go in the third slot. That also means that ram is installed in every other slot so there is better cooling. Location: 127.0.0.1 (RTP, NC) Posted August 11, 2017. You can see the ram has been installed in two light blue slots.
If you dont follow the manu however then you could see a hit in performance because the memory manager wont be able to access the memory as fast as possible. The MoBo manual usually specifies how to get this right, and it's usually color coded, so the coloring is not hype it's useful. That's the way every MoBo was that i ever had that i can remember, and that's at least 6 or more motherboards of various manufacturers like Asus, Gigabyte, BioStar, MSI.
That's because the two yellows (for example) would allow the memory to be accessed faster though interlaced access. That's not what i have seen in the past with all the MoBo's i have had.įor example, if i had two yellow and two blue then to use two mem packs most effectively i would have to use either the two yellows or the two blues but not one of each.
