The data sheet from my ASRock AB350M Pro4 tells me it can handle DDR4 RAM with a frequency of 3000MHz. Now I checked the manual to find out which slots to put my RAM in. I have 2x 8 Gb DDR4-3000 CL16-18-18 bars from G.Skill and have no idea where to put them in.

They are marked as 8Gx1, and I also cannot find it in the manual. They are single rank.

Could anybody actually help me reading the sheet below?



Thanks in advance.

Counting away from the CPU, to the right....the RAM sticks go in slots 2 and 4.


/e The slots with the RED dots...

Ok, I see.

And how did you know that. I mean, can't I just put them into A1 and B1? What would be the difference?

About 8-10 years ago, as CPU air coolers got bigger, motherboard manufacturer's moved the optimum slots from 1 and 3 to 2 and 4, so the RAM could be removed (if necessary) without needing to remove the air coolers.

RAM will operate oin dual channel in A1 + B1, or in A2 + B2. They will run better in A2 + B2. This info is in your motherboard manual.

damnit man
did u google how
to stick your willy in a watermelon
just close yur eyes and pray
you last atleast 4 strokes

Then you wouldn't utilize Ur ram running dual channel

A1 and B1 would still be dual channel, just not the optimum channel.


/e A1 and A2, for example, would be single channel.
