Important
Always insert memory modules in the
DIMMA2
slot first.
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
than the amount of installed.
Based on the processor specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is
suggested to protect the processor.
Some memory modules may operate at a lower frequency than the marked value
when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial
Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the
DRAM Frequency
to set the memory
frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs
installation or overclocking.
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU
and devices when overclocking.
Due to AM4 CPU/memory controller official specification limitation, the frequency of
memory modules may operate lower than the marked value under the default state.
