MSI - Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Help

[Orx24]

So I am looking into my first build and have finally got everything down after learning almost from scratch about building PCs. (The build is a few months from completion, I still have to save the money. Though I am buying the first part this week)

 

The mother board I am going with is the MSI - Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813144115&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

It says it supports Dual Channel, but all the RAM slots are the same color. Which slots do I use for Dual Channel? Most other boards that are Dual Channel Have 2 sets of colors to show you which to put them in, this one doesn't.

 

Would really appreciate the help, Thanks

Slots 2 and 4 for dual channel.

 

MSI call it A2 and B2. This is all in the manual.

I've seen this, in fact i rewatched it before writing this, it didn't answer my question about non color coded slots. But thanks anyway.

DIMMB2 & DIMMA2

Thanks, though this doesn't show what orientation the board is facing I guess I will be able to tell when I read the manual

DIMMA1 is usually sitting right next to the CPU, or that's how everyone of my boards have been. But yea the Manual would show it, and after looking at my MSI it's all black too.

 

For the video, it's a good reference tho I'm not sure as to why Linus has the B slots full and 1 A slot in that video... Also after watching it i can see how it became useless after 45 seconds
