• 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

• 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

Memory configurations
Youmayinstall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

fromthehigher-sizedchannelisthenmappedforsingle-channeloperation.
