• It is recommended to install the memory modules from the orange slot for
better overclocking capability.
• The O.C. mode is not guaranteed. It depends on whole system
conguration and other parameters. For the setting, memory may need a
external cooling device, such as fan, to work stably under high frequency/
voltage setting.
