Two RAM sticks into a four DIMM slot motherboard... which slots?

Question

I am installing two 8GB DDR4 DIMMs into this motherboard:

There are four DIMM slots of alternating colors, labeled in the following order:

The motherboard has dual channel DDR4, so I want to make sure there's one DIMM in each channel, right?

The different colour slots are there specifically to answer this question. — paradroid, Commented Jan 9, 2016 at 23:03

From the page you linked to, go to CPU / Memory / Support & Downloads, select the manual.

On the fourth page it shows the numbering of the DIMM slots. Use the slots numbered 1 and 2.

For more details, see the page 11 (section 1-4).

Thank 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!

Heh. 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.

I did get CD. Didn't look, but it probably has the manual.
