    This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets:

    

    Channel	Sockets
    Channel A	DIMM_A1*
    Channel B	DIMM_B1*

    

    • You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. 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.
    • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules.
    • 10″ Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i9 processors support 2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 natively, others will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2666 MHz.
    • 11th Gen Intel® processors support 2933/2800/2666/2400/2133 natively.

    

    • The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect ZL (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 (2 DIMMs).
    • Refer to www.asus.com for the latest Memory QVL (Qualified Vendors List), and memory frequency support depends on the CPU types.
