I'm going to be running my PC with a single ram DIMM while I paint my other 16Gb that I use regularly.

 

In which slot do I put the single DIMM?

Single DIMM, in the  2 socket 

2nd from the CPU correct?

Look in your manual

 

If I had to guess, it'd be the one which is second away from the CPU

Single DIMM, in the  2 socket 

 

My motherboard didnt come with a manual so I just downloaded it from the website.

Apparently A1 slot is the closest one to the CPU, not second...

 

Thanks anyway :)

seems kinda odd they would put it there.

Farthest away from CPU works best

nvm i messed up, it recommends putting a single DIMM into A2, which IS the second one from the CPU, lol

so yeah you were right

 

also this is just a temporary solution, i dont really care about any performance issues
