the only reason to why you'd want to have ram installed in the correct order is because the motherboard would communicate in that order, e.g. the manual instructs you to use slot 1, 3, 2, 4. this would be because the motherboard would read in that order and communicate in that order. If you don't have the ram installed in that order then your motherboard would just skip the slot so for example slot 1 and 2 is used but the rest isn't then it would use 1 skip 3 use 2 and skip 4. So generally speaking it won't make a huge difference since the processor speed would be so fast that it won't be noticeable

Generally speaking the system works best if the RAM occupies slots in numerical order. Consult Sabertooth manual perhaps?

yea i did and it says that it should be in 1-3 but i couldn't because of the h100i but i can move that now so will it give me any performance boost
