Memory white clip and black clip

[davidmoore1949]

What is the significance of the white clips vs the black clips on the memory slots of the motherboard? My Corsair memory says to put it in the slot with the white clips, but does not say why.

Welcome to Tom's Forum!

If by 'chip' you mean DIMM slot then use the correct paired DIMM slots per the manual. Since you didn't mention you MOBO in 'most' instances its the second set of matching colored DIMM slots from the CPU.

What motherboard and what memory?

My current motherboard nor my last motherboard had white OR black memory slots.
