Upgrading RAM to dual channel

Datguyorange · Jan 21, 2017

I'm looking to upgrade my brothers pc build and i've ordered 16gb RAM 2x8GB

I was wondering what slots i should use?

Motherboard- Asus z97-p

I've tried looking online but it's like finding a needle in a haystack haha, Thanks

It's most definitely slots 1&3 or 2&4. We can look a little deeper and find the manual that can confirm this, but RAM slots are neatly painted the same colour for dual-channel RAM installation (as can be seen on the official website).

TL;DR Put those sticks in the same-coloured slots.

if you look at this manual page https://www.manualslib.com/manual/752629/Asus-Z97-P.html?page=13#manual
you will see the four slots on the right.
your answer lays on this page https://www.manualslib.com/manual/752629/Asus-Z97-P.html?page=18#manual

And I'd just like to add that you can check whether your RAM is actually running in dual-channel mode or not by downloading CPU-Z and clicking on the Memory tab. You should see this.
