Can I put my ram in slot 1 and 3?
The DIMM slots for your RAM are usually right next to your CPU. Now, logic would suggest that those with two sticks of RAM to install should put them in slots 1 and 3. But listening to logic is silly when building a PC, because most motherboards will probably tell you you need to put them in slots 2 and 4 instead.
Why do I have 4 RAM slots?
Most CPUs may not be able to properly use RAM in Quad-Channel, but will recognize the RAM and use its capacity fully, just not the most optimal way. Also when the motherboard is labeled as ‘dual channel’? You can use all four slots just fine. This is because 4 core CPUs on LGA2066 have only two memory controllers.
How many RAM slots do you need?
So how many DIMM slots do you actually need? It depends on how much RAM you want and how many DIMMs you’ll use to get there. 16GB of RAM should do the trick if you’re mostly focused on mainstream tasks and games, while 32GB is more than enough. You can achieve 32GB RAM with two DIMM slots (using two 16GB RAM sticks).
