How to install PC DDR4 RAM and configure PC to boot FIRST time
Installing RAM is easy to do, but to get it to BOOT first time, well that takes practice and some processes to get it right, as you will see in the video.
We are going from V-Color Prism Pro RGB DDR4 4000Mhz CL19

To Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 3200Mhz CL16

Most motherboards will notice the RAM change and automatically RESET the XMP or DOCP settings to allow the RAM to be "trained"
But this isn't always the case and your motherboard might try and REUSE the wrong settings on your RAM and this can cause the system to not BOOT or crash due to using the WRONG settings.
So don't mess around and do it the RIGHT way and get your system BOOTING from the start.

This is indeed the best presented demonstration on installing RAM into a desktop. It was done in a clear and concise manner. I like how you provided the additional troubleshoot section on how to access and change the BIOS, which almost all other videos failed to do. Well done mate!

Honestly, your no BS how to vids really deserve more love. Your channel helped me through my first build and my second a few days ago. Mike, you are one of the best.

Best video for pc newbies. My ram is finally upgraded. Thanks !

Upgraded d'ters Ram when upgraded cpu so upgraded old 2400 2x4gb to new C/Ballistix 2x8gb 3000 I had bought cheap months prior. Need to check if I reset Xmp settings! Thanks for the tutorial Mike and Kath 👍

I always put the PC on its side when installing new/extra ram and use both hands as its easy to have your fingers slip and crack the plastic housing or even the card itself. Of course ideally install the RAM before installing the board as some of the new CPU coolers get in the way.

Mike- thanks for the valuable insight as always !

[mrgamingguyuk]

Well I can say, thank you for your help, I was able to fix my issue with my motherboard not correcting ram speed and frequency, if you want more info, just ask but anyways keeping the video for later just in case, thank you again

Motherboard: ASUS Prime A320M-K
Ram: Patriot 2x8 (16GB) (DDR4-2666MHz)
MSI GTX 960, My PC does not support profile D.O.C.P., aanyways thought i just tell you.

Hi, Mike. Thanks for showing us how tab A fits into slot B. 😂👍

Always make sure you get your kit in the right slot for a lot of tears later on. XMP had me baffled when I first installed my RAM that supported this for the first time but eventually I got there and there was a marked improvement in performance and stability.

Mike's How to is Worthy of a Support comment. Like & a share 🙂

good video FYI the outside of a anti static bag isnt actually anti static, only the inside. :)

Got my cpu to 6.2 mhz but just a test for Im really good at 4.48ghz, 1.35 cpu voltage. The Ram info you taught US really got me on right formula of equations fitting in the right settings. 6.2 is not what Im accustomed to or even knowing my cpu can get that high, my god, I have a Giant Gaming case Im going to build of researching the other cpus from AMD knowing I have the space AND wattBOX TO ADD MORE THINGS OF KEEPING PC VERY COOL of latest uses of latest cpus..

[PaulBakewell]

My top tip for installing RAM is buy a motherboard with only two slots. It stops you having to worry about which slot fit the RAM into (I know, I talk rubbish) great video, Thanks, Mike

JUST WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! Didn't know that dual channel ddr is preferable to pe mounted on A2 B2 DIMMS . I initially mounted them on A1 B1 and didn't work at the highest OC performance. The HyperX Fury of mine are 3200 mhz but the PC crashed and was resseting the values to 2400 mhz. All these becouse the bloody da#n wrong dimms ! :) Thank you !

Thanks for the info! Im going from 16gb ram 3200 cl16 Team to 32gb Kingston Fury 3200 Cl16... So before I change the ram I just need to disable the xmp then swap the ram, go to the Bios and enable again the profile on the Xmp?

Sorry if I understood wrong, my main language it's not English.

And again thanks for all the information in these videos.

Hey man great vid, I'm currently using an AMD A8-6600K APU and i'd like to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB, do you know if the Fury Beast 16GB 3200mhz would be compatible?

[yogiemiller]

hi mike this video is very helpful to me as a new PC builder, may i ask if my base ddr4 clock is 2400mhz, then i overclock it to xmp profile 1 1.35v 3600mhz, i experience blue sreen and freezing, help me to fix this.

Hello can you tell me if I put 2 more sticks of RAM on the free slots, will my system boot up. All the RAM sticks are identical and I have a Asrock B450 pro 4 Motherboard with ryzen 5 5600g.

[Cvbxr]

I need this info ASAP…

So i have an HP Laptop with Samsung 4GB ddr4 2400 ram, and im swapping to 2 A-Tech 16GB Ram sticks, and my motherboard’s max is 32GB anyways. So, i try to go into the boot manager, but because the motherboard isnt asus, i have wierd HP bios boot stuff. If I just don’t do anything and I try to turn the laptop in with the new ram, nothing is displayed, but the system is obviously on because of the fans and a blinking Caps Lock light. Any help?
