I purchased a gigabyte DS3H Wi-Fi motherboard and have two RAM sticks. I'm unsure which slots to use. The manual says the four memory slots are split into two channels, each with two slots. Channel A has DDR4_2 and DDR4_4, while Channel B has DDR4_1 and DDR4_3. The RAM should be arranged as: left to right ddr4_4, ddr4_2, ddr4_3, ddr4_1. Need some guidance. Thanks!

Review the guide. As commonly mentioned, it requires dual channel support, a1 and b1.

The guide should explain the steps for handling two sticks, typically one in each channel—B1 and A2.

Which ever is first for the channel and first for the b. They even switch colors on some boards. It simplifies things even more. Look at the manual for a real diagram. They design it to be very user-friendly. Also doesn’t matter which you choose. Just ensure there’s a space between each item.

For the B450 Gigabyte model, use black and gray finishes. Place it in the first and third positions from the left (CPU on the right) or second and fourth spots.

Thank you for your assistance. I was puzzled since the seller recommended 2 and 4 slots while a tutorial suggested using slots 1 and 3.

The guide suggests placing the modules in the DDR4_1 and DDR4_2 slots for best results. Refer to page 5 diagram for details on positioning the 2nd and 4th slots relative to the CPU connector.

I really appreciate this supportive community. The instructions seem clear enough, though the diagrams on one page suggest a different setup than what’s described on the following page.
