Question Assembling Memory

[Brandon Huala]

I have the Aorus B650 Elite AX motherboard with the AMD 7 9700X CPU and 2 Trident Z5 NED RGB DDR5 Memory sticks,

I was wondering which channel I should activate or which slots I should use cause the internet is saying to use the A2 and B2 slots.

But the manual says the 2 channels are:

A: DDR 5 A1, and A2

B: DDR 5 B1, and B2

This is the manual I'm using Link:

I was wondering if I placed the memory sticks in the slots that the internet suggested if that is bad for the system and would override the system or something?

If any one could tell me which Channels slots I should use with 2 memory sticks first,

I would appreciate any advice.

You want to use slots 2 and 4, so A2 and B2 is correct, you want to use one slot from each memory channel for optimum efficiency.

Thank you that helps a lot

Ignore what 'the internet says'.
Refer to the manufacturer.

True, oh I just saw the Recommended memory configurations on the manual. That is very good advice.

Does it matter which PCLEX 1 and 2 slot I install the SSD in?

I'm new to this, I don't see where it says the configuration is...

Ok.
A 990 Pro is PCIe 4.0

That will work in any of the 3 M.2 slots.
M2_A, M2_B, M2_C.
