RAM issue with Asrock B450M steel laptop? Need help finding a solution or replacement options.
You're about to add RAM to your Asrock B450M Steel Legend with a Ryzen 5 2600. You have two 8GB DDR4 3200MHz sticks and four slots, but you're unsure how to place them for dual-channel performance. Refer to the official motherboard guide here: https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450M Steel Legend/#Specification. The screenshots you shared should help clarify the placement instructions.
Placed the sticks in the furthest slots away from the CPU, spaced one apart. It should appear like this |Empty|Full|Empty|Full|
Use the second and fourth positions when counting from the CPU left to right. For example, 0 1 0 1 means slot 0 is empty, slot 1 has RAM, slot 2 is free, and slot 3 is occupied.
