just figured something almost breaking my pc. you can use different ram brands and timings if you have no choice. i realized that if slot 1 and 3 make a channel while 2 and 4 make a channel, put the slowest ram brand as the first on each channel (1 slower brand on slot 1, the 2nd faster brand on slot 3 for a channel and do it the same way for the other channel) so that slot 1 and 2 is brand a, while slot 3 and 4 is brand b. the pc would then use the slowest brand of the left slot of each channel when clocking the channel and you can still have stability in dual channel. i made the mistake of placement according to aesthetic which resulted in freezes, bsods, no display, etc. having to reinstall windows over corrupt startup files because windows wouldnt load.
I actually got the same image in my MB manual and I wondered why I should use B2+A2 for 2x DIMMs instead of A1+B1. Turns out B2+A2 are the best choice because you terminate the BUS at the end, therefore chances to mitigate signal reflections is best. It's not about performance but about stability choosing A1+B1 or A2+B2.
No you cannot. The maximum supported memory is counted when all slots are populated so to know maximum memory amount per slot divide the maximum supported memory by the amount of slots. For example maximum of 64 gb with 4 slots would be maximum of 16gb module per slot. You can also read the motherboard manual and it will most likely have the maximum capacity per slot listed.
I have 2x8GB 3000mhz ram and im planning to buy 1x16GB 3000mhz same brand all the same. Will I be fine? I'm planning to scale the ram slowly so I'm buying 1.16GB for now
I have single channel ram slot on my motherboard, so means that I only have 2 ram slots right? but when I checked on task manager➡️performance (memory), it says I only used 1 of 4 slots? 🤔
@@poopty i mean you can try 2x8GB, just make sure they are in the same slots, 1 and 3, or 2 and 4. Then you can add the 2x4GB sticks in the other two. See if it runs. You will be at 24GB ram which isnt unheard of
With 2 ram, the computer can use both sticks together, but with 3 the computer uses each one on their own. You could use 3x, but it’s not as powerful as 2x or 4x

So can i put only on A2 + B2 ?
it's possible to install the whole ram supported in just one slot?
if the pc support 8gb maximum, install just 1 8gb ram instead of 2 of 4gb?

Yes, what I've searching for… thanks for Info…😊😊
Straight to the point without music

how many GB or ram is detected by your computer and how much did you put in?
If my pc has 4 slots and 16gb, if I buy 2 more 8bg will I fill all 4? Or is ther 16gb rams and ile still have 2 free slots but 32gb?
@@poopty i mean you can try 2x8GB, just make sure they are in the same slots, 1 and 3, or 2 and 4. Then you can add the 2x4GB sticks in the other two. See if it runs. You will be at 24GB ram which isnt unheard of
My motherboard slots go like A1 A2
B1 B2 , does that mean that i put them side by side?
yup side by side,only on highend motherboard
What is that music at the start called it is absolutely FIRE
I've seen people say you can't put the ram side by side is that true?
Try not to, I just messed my stuff up doing it lol
only on high end motherboard with dual channel
2 of 8 is a1 b1 2 sticks c1 d1 4 sticks
Thank u bro really all that needed to be said.
Didn’t he say b2 A2?
000 THANK YOU
Ty
wc
cool 👍
Thanks this really helps
you are so welcome
Can I have 3 ram?
With 2 ram, the computer can use both sticks together, but with 3 the computer uses each one on their own.
You could use 3x, but it’s not as powerful as 2x or 4x
Lmao thanks a lot
