Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2. WhenenablingDualChannelmodewithtwoorfourmemorymodules,itisrecommendedthatmemory
of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same colored sockets. For
optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, we recommend
thatyouinstallthemintheDDR4_1andDDR4_2sockets.
After installing the HDMI device, make sure to set the default sound playback device to HDMI. (The
item name may differ depending on your operating system.)
