Memory congurations
Youmayinstall1GB,2GB,4GB,8GBand16GBunbufferedandnon-ECCDDR4DIMMs
intotheDIMMsockets.
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conguration.Anyexcessmemory
fromthehigher-sizedchannelisthenmappedforsingle-channeloperation.
• 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efcientmemorycoolingsystemtosupportafull
memoryload(4DIMMs).
• Memorymoduleswithmemoryfrequencyhigherthan2133MHzanditscorresponding
timingortheloadedX.M.P.ProleisnottheJEDECmemorystandard.Thestability
andcompatibilityofthesememorymodulesdependontheCPU’scapabilitiesand
otherinstalleddevices.
• AlwaysinstalltheDIMMSwiththesameCASLatency.Foranoptimumcompatibility,
werecommendthatyouinstallmemorymodulesofthesameversionordatacode
(D/C)fromthesamevendor.Checkwiththevendortogetthecorrectmemory
modules.
• ASUSexclusivelyprovideshyperDIMMsupportfunction.
• HyperDIMMsupportissubjecttothephysicalcharacteristicsofindividualCPUs.Load
