System Memory Configurations

You may install 8 GB, and 16 GB unbuffered and non-ECC DDR4 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.

  • You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A, Channel B, Channel C, and Channel D. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation.

The Intel Core i7  processors support the following types of memory organization:

  • 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 efficient memory cooling system to support a full memory load (8 DIMMs) or overclocking condition.

  • 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 (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the vendor to get the correct memory modules.
