My new pc was lacking ram when received.
Im getting 2x 8gb ram sent to me atm It says shipped (only got 8gb atm but its wrong speed..gonna replace 16gb of same speed)


Im just curious after you put it in the PC in the stick thing, is there anything else to do?
Im not an expert obviously about installing parts....the ram is obviously the easiest thing to do but once I put it in, do I just open pc and play?

No things to do in bios or anything right? and it will detect the memory

You should of just downloaded more

What..

Nope, your mobo should automatically detect the new RAM. Obviously just make sure they are in the correct slot if you have dual channel on the mobo

Does it matter which 2 slot I put it in out of the 4 slots? where 2 should I put it in

I have a gigabyte z170 motherboard

Read manual on site support page for ur mobo
If your mix is ng kits gl

99 times out of 100 it's the 2nd and 4th slot...counting away from the CPU...towards the right.

I have 2 slots next to cpu on the right

2 slots under gpu

all 4 slots are black


My only current slot used is the first one closest to CPU

Lol. You got a link to the exact motherboard?

/e I assume it must be a mini or micro ATX motherboard. If so, then the 2 slots to the right...with the CPU being the highest point on the motherboard. are the RAM slots. If that's the case...just use both slots.
ATX boards (full) have 4 RAM slots all to the right of the CPU.
