Desktop Board Features

Main Memory

NOTE

To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel® SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. If your memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a notification to this effect on the screen at power up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory controller for normal operation.

The Desktop Board supports the following memory and interface:

•Six 240-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) connectors with gold-plated contacts arranged in three channels

•1600+/1333/1066/800 MHz DDR3 SDRAM Memory Modules

NOTE

DDR3 1600 or higher memory support on this desktop board requires compatible XMP-enabled memory or advanced knowledge of BIOS and manual memory tuning. Individual results may vary.

•Support for single-, dual-, and triple-channel memory interleaving

•Unbuffered, non-registered single or double-sided DIMMs with a voltage rating of

1.65V or less

NOTE

Using a DIMM with a voltage rating higher than 1.65 V may damage the processor.

•ECC and non-ECC DDR3 memory

•Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only

•Up to 24 GB maximum total system memory

NOTE

32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4 GB of memory. The operating system report less than 4 GB because of the memory used by add-in graphics cards.
