What DIMM sockets do I use for dual channel memory?

[Straps]

I have an EVGA Z87 FTW and I dont know what DIMM sockets to use? The manual that came with the motherboard doesnt say what sockets to use for dual channel memory. Thanks for the reply!

if you have two sticks of memory plug them into the same colour memory slots

Use slots 2 and 4.

From your manual:

The Intel Z87 chipset supports dual channel memory; please refer to the visual installation guide for the proper installation procedure.

Your Visual Guide, pg 2

One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 2.
Two DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 2 and 4.
Four DIMMs: If using 4 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into: DIMM slots 1, 2, 3 and 4

According to Page 2 of the EVGA docs you should use slot 2 and 4 which are the red ones.
