1.5.2Memory configurations
You may install 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB unbuffered non‑ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
•Memory module with memory frequency higher than 2133 MHz and its corresponding timing or the loaded XMP profile is not the JEDEC memory standard. The stability and compatibility of these memory modules depend on the CPU’s capabilities and other installed devices.
•You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the
•According to Intel CPU specification, DIMM voltage below 1.65V is recommended to protect the CPU.
•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules.
•Due to the memory address limitation on

•This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 256 megabits (Mb) chips or less.
•The maximum 32GB memory capacity can be supported with 16GB or above DIMMs. ASUS will update the memory QVL once the DIMMs are available in the market.
• The default memory operation frequency is dependent on its Serial Presence Detect (SPD), which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the
•For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling system to support a full memory load (2 DIMMs) or overclocking condition.
