This helps transfer data from RAM to other components with the help of the motherboard. The slot acts as a connector between the RAM stick and the motherboard. RAM slots offer a mounting place for RAM sticks on the system’s motherboard. Motherboard Featuring More Than Four Rams.

Choosing Between 1st-3rd and 2nd-4th Slots On 4-slot Motherboard.I'm able to return the new faulty ram sticks, and get new ones later. This should be the correct configuration for my motherboard. I'm going to stick in my first ram in the A2 slot, the second ram in the B2 slot, the third ram in the A1 slot, and the fourth ram in the B1 slot. I don't see an option to change my SOC boot voltage in BIOS, and searching SOC in my bios gives no options to change the SOC boot voltage. My Dram voltage is set to auto which is 1.4 V (1.395 actual number used I remember reading in BIOS when PC is used) and has no option to be changed. My ram stick is the G.Skill Trident CL-30-40-40-96 32gb which is compatible with my motherboard. My CPU is i9-13900 which supports 128 gb of ram, and I'm using ram sticks of 32gb each. So I'm sure there's no bending of pins on my ram slots. The pins on my ram slots look fine, and all four slots look identical as well. Which when enabled using that wouldn't boot my PC. BIOS would only show the new ram stick with a different speed as an option to enable under DOHP. My PC turned on with three ram sticks using 2 of the same speed sticks, and one different speed stick. So I tried using a different ram stick of a different speed. Another one of my ram sticks sometimes work and doesn't. I was able to determine one of my four ram sticks was faulty. Then after that apparently I had to start over using one ram stick to get two ram sticks to work again. I was able to get three ram sticks working after a long bootup (amazingly the third ram was in the b2 slot, which I'm sure is the wrong spot), then I tried four ram sticks but it didn't work. This is constant I've noticed throughout the PC if I end up not being able to turn it on after sticking more ram sticks. Then two ram sticks will work after that. But I'm having problems with getting more than 2 ram sticks to work.įirst off, I noticed that two ram sticks won't work until I use 1 ram stick and turn on my PC. I'm trying to get 4 ram slots to work on my Asus motherboard (Asus ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming Wifi).
