Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply slot the modules into the DIMM slots on your motherboard until you hear a click. Because this is DDR5 memory, it is physically incompatible with older DDR4 motherboards; confirm your motherboard specifications first. Once installed, enter your BIOS during startup and enable the XMP or EXPO profile to ensure the RAM runs at its rated 6400 MHz rather than the default JEDEC speed. For care, avoid touching the gold contact pins with your fingers to prevent oxidation, and ensure your PC case has adequate airflow, as the heatsink is designed to dissipate heat into the case environment.
