I am installing two 8GB DDR4 DIMMs into this motherboard:
There are four DIMM slots of alternating colors, labeled in the following order:
- DDR4_1 (gray)
- DDR4_3 (black)
- DDR4_2 (gray)
- DDR4_4 (black)
The motherboard has dual channel DDR4, so I want to make sure there's one DIMM in each channel, right?

Naidim over 8 yearsThe different colour slots are there specifically to answer this question.

petehern over 8 yearsThank you. That was a very polite RTFM. I was confused because the manual in the box was one page--I didn't realize there was a full manual on the Gigabyte website. I looked--honest!

ganesh over 8 yearsHeh. I actually felt bad about not posting the actual content. Someone has edited it in though. As for a full manual: Did you geta CD or DVD with the motherboard? That probably has a PDF of the manual.
