00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:09,519
I love RAM installation RAM installation loves me follow along it's easy you'll

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:13,320
see a critical part of any successful RAM installation is picking the right

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:19,400
memory in this case we need third generation DDR DDR 3 we can accept

4
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:22,519
memory speeds up to 1866 MHz so we're

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,400
going to use 1600 MHz memory and voltage

6
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:30,519
is key as well this motherboard calls for anything at 1.65 volts or less so

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,079
our memory is rated for 1.5 volt so that's just fine if you want to be 100%

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,760
sure you can check the qvl or qualified vendor list on the motherboard

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:42,559
manufacturer website however a lot of the time those lists are out of date and

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:46,879
you're better off to just find something that has a specification that matches

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,120
what your motherboard accepts and try it out now most motherboards have tabs on

12
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:56,039
both sides of the memory slot this is to latch the memory into place what you

13
00:00:54,079 --> 00:01:01,199
might notice however is that some motherboards only have a tab on one side

14
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:05,920
this is to reduce clearance issues with large video cards or other cards

15
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:09,280
installed in the PCI Express slots it doesn't really affect the procedure much

16
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,960
you just have to make sure that you're careful when you're installing in the

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,680
side without a tab make sure it clicks all the way in once you have the correct

18
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:20,400
memory you need to identify the slots you're going to install them in this is

19
00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:24,920
a dual Channel motherboard you can tell because there are two of each color of

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:29,320
slots I recommend populating the slots that are further away from the CPU

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,799
socket itself first because this reduces the chance of interference with between

22
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:37,280
your CPU Cooler and the memory it's optimal to fill all of a particular

23
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:40,920
color before you start filling the others so I'd install my first two

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,560
sticks in the blue slots and my second two sticks in the black slots some

25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:50,280
motherboards actually have the slots labeled in micro printing on the board

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:54,560
itself and this can help you if for whatever reason you can't tell from the

27
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:58,799
color coding which one to use now this is the fun part where we actually

28
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:02,560
install the memory pull back either one or two tabs depending on the type of

29
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:06,880
motherboard you have position the memory inside the slot ensuring that the notch

30
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:12,160
in the bottom of the module is aligned with the notch in the memory slot itself

31
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:17,800
push it down gently now this is where the procedure differs if you have a one

32
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:21,599
latch slot then what I usually do is I push in the non- latched side first to

33
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:26,599
ensure it goes in all the way then the other side if you have two latches then

34
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,040
I push them both the same way you can easily check the latch sides to make

35
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:34,040
sure that they're in all the way by visually inspecting the latch itself and

36
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,120
for the other one again visual inspection or give it a quick push to

37
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,440
ensure that the RAM is firmly seated after that you basically rinse and

38
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:45,280
repeat until you've installed either your two sticks or your four sticks in

39
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,920
the case of this motherboard then what you want to do is boot up the system and

40
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:53,480
use CPU to verify that all of the memory is detected you can also check in

41
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:58,239
Windows to verify that all the memory is even being used for example Windows Home

42
00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:04,120
Premium won't detect more than 16 gigs of RAM it is normal for the megahertz

43
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,720
detected in CPU to be 1 half of the

44
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:12,360
advertised DDR speed because DDR 1600

45
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,360
megahertz is double data rate 800

46
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:19,400
