Chapter 1: Product introduction

System memory

Overview

This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Module 

(DIMM) sockets. A DDR4 module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 module. 

DO NOT install a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 memory module to the DDR4 slot.

• 

You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system 

maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any 

excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel 

operation.

• 

Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we 

recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C) 

from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules. 

• 

DDR4 2666MHz and higher memory modules will run at max. 2666MHz on Intel

®

 8

th

 

Gen 6-core or higher processors. 

• 

Memory modules with memory frequency higher than 2133 MHz and its corresponding 

timing or the loaded X.M.P. Profile is not the JEDEC memory standard. The stability 

and compatibility of these memory modules depend on the CPU’s capabilities and 

other installed devices.

• 

The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect 

(SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. 

Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a 

lower frequency than the vendor-marked value. 

• 

For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full 

memory load (2 DIMMs).
