Installing System Memory (DIMMs)
Your Z790 DARK K|NGP|N has two (2)
288-pin DDR5 memory slots, and supports:
Dual-channel non-ECC DDR5 memory.
Up to 32GB per DIMMs.
Up to (OC) speeds.
At least one memory slot must be populated
for the board to boot and operate.
Use the following procedure to install your
memory.
1.
Press both module clips outward
to unlock a DIMM slot.
2.
Align the memory module to the
DIMM slot and gap spacing, then insert the DIMM into the slot by
pressing straight down.
3.
The plastic clips on each end of the DIMM slot should automatically
lock the DIMM into the connector. If not, carefully snap the clips into
place on each side of the DIMM.
Note:
On a 2-DIMM DDR5 motherboard design, the memory controller on most
Raptor Lake-S / Alder Lake-S CPUs are officially supported up to a frequency
of 5600MHz and 4800MHz, respectively, depending on the memory
configuration
. Achieving memory speeds above the CPU’s default speed 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. Overclocking support may be found on our community
forums:
Installing the I/O Shield
Your motherboard is pre-installed with an I/O shield, which is used to prevent
dust and foreign objects from coming into contact with internal components.
Ensure that the I/O shield remains on the inside of the chassis while you are
fastening the motherboard to the case.
