Hey i have the manual but i cant seem to find a straight answer on this.
I have 2 sticks of 4gb ram and i have 1 stick of 8gb. i have the 2 stick in there right now but im not sure where too install the 8gb stick. Any ideas?
instal those 4 GB sticks in slot 1/3 and the 8GB in slot 2
dual chanel is mostly slot 1/3 and slot 2/4 pair. if i was you i would buy a second 8 gb stick from the same ram, so that you have 2 pairs sticks. so you can install those 2x8 in slot 2/4.to keep dual chanel configuration.
So you mean install the 2 4 gb sticks in either the 1-3 channels? (There are 4 channels on this motherboard) then install the 8gb one in the 4th?
those 4gb's in slot 1 and 3 and that 8 gb in slot 2 or 4. but with 3 sticks you dont have a dual chanel config anymore. as far as that make sense.. ☺
Just stick the 2 x 4gb in the red slots and leave it at that, mixing ram will just lead to all sorts of issues and/or loss of performance.
