Which Memory slots to use on the UD5??

[AFK_Matrix]

Hi, Just installing my i7 build on a UD5 mobo and I am wondering if it matters which memory slots i use for my 6GB of patriot ram? Should i use the white or blue slots? Thanks.

Got my Ram in the white slots, and its all wokring fine as far as I know these are the main slots for the UD5

The white ones

But no, it matters little

From the manual-

3 Channel--
1. 3 Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one or two DDR3 memory modules are installed.
2. When enabling 3 Channel mode with three, four or six modules, it is recommended that memory
of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

When enabling 3 Channel mode with three memory modules, be sure to install them in the
DDR3_1, DDR3_3 and DDR3_5 sockets.

When enabling 3 Channel mode with four memory modules, be sure to install them in the
DDR3_1, DDR3_2, DDR3_3 and DDR3_5 sockets.

Hope this help's.

Yes follow that and you will be home and dry but if I am right its quite clear in the manual? Even with pics????

Need to put the memory in the white slots, I stuck mine in the blue slots at first and the pc would not boot, changed to white all worked ok.
