Installing System Memory
Your X299 MICRO has (4) 288-pin slots for
DDR4 memory. These slots support 4GB, 8GB
and 16GB DDR4 DIMMs. There must be at
least one memory slot populated for the board
to boot and operate.
The Intel X299 chipset supports Quad-Channel
DDR4 memory, a maximum of 64GB and up to
4000MHz+for Skylake-X, and 4133MHz+ for
Kaby Lake-X (OC)+. It is recommended to
always use a 4 DIMM Quad Channel kit
for Skylake-X, or a 2 DIMM kit for Kaby
Lake-X, in the event you cannot please
fill the memory slots in the following
order: 2, 4, 3, 1. See chart to the right:
Use the following procedure to install
memory DIMMs. Note that there is an
off-center gap near the center of the
DIMM slots. This matches the gap on
a DDR4 DIMM to ensure the memory is
installed properly, and to prevent the
incorrect installation of memory.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing
the top-side module clips
outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module
perpendicular to 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-X and Kaby Lake-X CPUs runs at a
default frequency of 2400/2666MHz. Achieving memory speeds above
2666MHz+ 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.
