Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
Your Z170 Classified has 2 (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 Z170 chipset supports dual channel memory
recommended to be populated in pairs; supports a maximum of
32GB of DDR4 and up to in dual channel
configuration. Slot 1 is the primary priority slots.
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.
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 Skylake CPUs runs at a default frequency of
2133MHz. To achieve memory speeds above 2133+ 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:
