Installing RAM

[Joshua Coleman]

I had 16GB or RAM (2x8) and just bought 32GB more (2x16). Just wondering what the best way to install it is.

I have a total of 4 slots and the mobo holds up to 64GB.

Motherboard: ASRock Z170 Pro4S

Ball-peen hammer it is! Get it all in there!

Just make sure you put them in opposing channels. For example, either A1 and B1, or A2 and B2. Your manual tells you which ones are which. Don't do A1 and B2, or B1 and A2..

So in slots 1-4 I should do this?

Slot 1: 16 GB
Slot 2: 8 GB
Slot 3: 16 GB
Slot 4: 8 GB
