00:00:00.599 --> 00:00:09.519
I love RAM installation RAM installation loves me follow along it's easy you'll

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:13.320
see a critical part of any successful RAM installation is picking the right

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:19.400
memory in this case we need third generation DDR DDR 3 we can accept

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:22.519
memory speeds up to 1866 MHz so we're

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:24.400
going to use 1600 MHz memory and voltage

00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:30.519
is key as well this motherboard calls for anything at 1.65 volts or less so

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%

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:38.760
sure you can check the qvl or qualified vendor list on the motherboard

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:42.559
manufacturer website however a lot of the time those lists are out of date and

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:46.879
you're better off to just find something that has a specification that matches

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:52.120
what your motherboard accepts and try it out now most motherboards have tabs on

00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:56.039
both sides of the memory slot this is to latch the memory into place what you

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:01.199
might notice however is that some motherboards only have a tab on one side

00:00:58.879 --> 00:01:05.920
this is to reduce clearance issues with large video cards or other cards

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:09.280
installed in the PCI Express slots it doesn't really affect the procedure much

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:12.960
you just have to make sure that you're careful when you're installing in the

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

00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:20.400
memory you need to identify the slots you're going to install them in this is

00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:24.920
a dual Channel motherboard you can tell because there are two of each color of

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:29.320
slots I recommend populating the slots that are further away from the CPU

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.799
socket itself first because this reduces the chance of interference with between

00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:37.280
your CPU Cooler and the memory it's optimal to fill all of a particular

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:40.920
color before you start filling the others so I'd install my first two

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.560
sticks in the blue slots and my second two sticks in the black slots some

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:50.280
motherboards actually have the slots labeled in micro printing on the board

00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:54.560
itself and this can help you if for whatever reason you can't tell from the

00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:58.799
color coding which one to use now this is the fun part where we actually

00:01:55.960 --> 00:02:02.560
install the memory pull back either one or two tabs depending on the type of

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.880
motherboard you have position the memory inside the slot ensuring that the notch

00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:12.160
in the bottom of the module is aligned with the notch in the memory slot itself

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:17.800
push it down gently now this is where the procedure differs if you have a one

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

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

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.040
I push them both the same way you can easily check the latch sides to make

00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:34.040
sure that they're in all the way by visually inspecting the latch itself and

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:38.120
for the other one again visual inspection or give it a quick push to

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:41.440
ensure that the RAM is firmly seated after that you basically rinse and

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:45.280
repeat until you've installed either your two sticks or your four sticks in

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

00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:53.480
use CPU to verify that all of the memory is detected you can also check in

00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:58.239
Windows to verify that all the memory is even being used for example Windows Home

00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:04.120
Premium won't detect more than 16 gigs of RAM it is normal for the megahertz

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.720
detected in CPU to be 1 half of the

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:12.360
advertised DDR speed because DDR 1600

00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:12.360
megahertz is double data rate 800

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:19.400
