Make sure the pair of RAM you have is Compatible<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-779\" src=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/ram-dual-channel.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/ram-dual-channel.jpg 500w, https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/ram-dual-channel-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/ram-dual-channel-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You have to make sure that the pair of RAM that you buy or own are compatible with each other, and indeed have dual channel specifications, because otherwise the performance will be poor and or not have much effect.<\/p>\n<p>Usually it will be easier if you do buy a memory kit package that is sold in pairs from the same manufacturer such as Corsair, G.SKILL, Kingston, V-GEN, and so on.<\/p>\n<h3>2. See the Color of the RAM Slots on the Motherboard<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-780\" src=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/ram-slot-on-motherboard.jpg\" alt=\"ram slot on motherboard\" width=\"615\" height=\"700\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/ram-slot-on-motherboard.jpg 615w, https:\/\/matob.web.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/06\/ram-slot-on-motherboard-264x300.jpg 264w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, look at the color of the RAM slots on the\u00a0Motherboard\u00a0, as in the\u00a0Intel\u00a0Motherboard\u00a0image\u00a0above, which has 4 RAM slots with a black-blue-black-blue color combination.<\/p>\n<p>Install the RAM in the same color and in the motherboard example, it means that you are not installing them next to each other, but one slot apart, either in a slot that is both black or blue.<\/p>\n<h3>3.
