05 THE RAM’S HORNS

There’s only two DIMM slots available on this B550 board, so you don’t have to worry about picking the right slots for full memory speed. Release the clasps on the slots and push each stick of memory into place until it clicks, both at the clasp end and the opposite end. Both clasps should be secured, and the memory should sit flat in the slot. We are going to have to mess about in the BIOS later to ensure that our memory is running at full speed, since it’ll likely default to a lower frequency like 2,400MHz.

This motherboard and processor should support the full capacity without issue, so there’ll be a hefty 64GB of RAM to play with once the system is up and running.
