EVGA X58 FTW3 Motherboard

Installing System Memory (DIMMs)

Your new motherboard has six 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots

support 1GB, 2GB, 4GB DDR3 technologies. There must be at least one

memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the

recommendations for installing memory. (See Figure 1 on page 15 for the

location of the memory slots.)



One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 1.



Two or Four DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into:

DIMM slots 1 and 3. If using 4 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into:

DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3.



Three DIMMs: If using 3 DIMMs (Triple Channel), install into: DIMM

slots 1, 3 and 5.



Six DIMMs: If using more than 4 DIMMs, use: DIMM slots 2, 1, 4, and 3

then proceed to occupy the following DIMM slots in this order: 5 and 6.

Use the following procedure to install DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap

near the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the DIMM to

ensure the component is installed properly.

Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.

Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically

into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot

automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.
