Installing the Motherboard
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates four memory modules. It can support four 240-pin
DDR3 DDR3 2133 (OC)/DDR3 1866 (OC)/1600 (OC)/1333/1066 SDRAM. The
total memory capacity is 16 GB.
You must install at least one module in any of the four slots. Total memory capacity
is 16 GB.
ff
Channel A: DDR3_1, DDR3_2
Channel B: DDR3_3, DDR3_4
The four DDR3 memory sockets (DDR3_1, DDR3_2, DDR3_3 and DDR3_4) are
divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
1. To achieve better airflow rates and heat dissipation, we suggest that
you use a high quality fan with 3800 rpm at least. CPU fan and
heatsink installation procedures may vary with the type of CPU fan/
heatsink supplied. The form and size of fan/heatsink may also vary.
2. DO NOT remove the CPU cap from the socket before installing a
CPU.
3. Return Material Authorization (RMA) requests will be accepted
only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA1155 socket.
