Is my ram not installed correctly? Would this cause a performance issue? Board is an MSI z270 gaming m7. I could have sworn the manual had told me to install this way originally but it looks like they should be in offset slots not right next to each other. Thanks

It should say on your mobo

Whatever your mobo guide says. If it is suggesting use aline slots then use them. They maybe connected that way. Or else, try alternate slots and check performance again.

MSI Boards, ram goes into slot 1&3 or 2&4

This is the mobo guide from msi’s website. Thats the only page it describes installing ram..so im not really sure

Ill swap into 2 and 4 just to try it, no harm i guess lol. How much of a performance issue could them being installed like this cause out of curiousity?

Something to do with dual channel memory. Usually you should have skipped slot if you are not using them all.

Two Ram sticks with MSI goes into 2&4
