RAM Position & BIOS settings help.

[Telesto]

I have:-

Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x 4GB) 2400MHz DDR4

And

Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x 4GB) 2133MHz DDR4

 

Kits in my ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING Intel Socket 1151 Motherboard.

 

Where should the sticks be placed? and what BIOS settings would be best?

 

Also is there a way I can find out what position my memory sticks are in without disassembling it (the RAM looks identical from the top).

The rams go in the slots between the cpu and the mobo power supply. Put each pair one slot apart so that one kit ends up in the 1st and 3rd slots and  the other pair in the 2nd and 4th. No need to change the bios for them to work, just for overclocking and since i haven't used that mobo i'll let someone else answer that.

I've never really messed with BIOS settings. I couldn't get the same 2133MHz RAM (because it was no longer available).

Should I use XMP? Set the Memory speed manually to the higher 2400MHz?
