PLACE RAM IN SLOTS 2 AND 4

Pros:1. I had no problems with my Teamforce RAM at 3200MHz C16 even though it's a Hynix kit and not a QVL.2. The USB Type-C port on the back is also a big plus, along with 2 m.2.3 slots. Has a decent track record of BIOS updates. The last update for 2020 came out a few months ago. I expect good support and future firmware.4. Massive heatsink VRM.5. Color neutral and visually appealing PCBCons:1. Only 2 connectors for case fans. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: RAM MUST BE INSERTED IN SLOTS 2 AND 4 TO RUN AT 3200MHz. If you plug it into slots 1 and 3, it will be capped at 2933MHz. Don't make the same mistake I did! I've spent too much time trying to figure this out. All in all a lot of features with good VRM heatsinks.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not all fit
