Which dimm slot?

The manual is recommending that to avoid conflict with large cpu coolers. Won't see any performance difference.

I had a build made up for me recently at the local computer shop. Been going with these guys for a while, I highly respect them.

 

However, I got my build home and noticed the dual memory sticks (corsair vengeance) were in slots a1 and b1 (asus z87 plus). The motherboard manual clearly recommends a2 and b2.

 

I asked the builders about it, and they were absolutely sure that a1 and b1 would give the best results.

 

I have no problem opening up the case and swapping them over, but the computer runs fine, and I don't want to end up running back and paying another fee because I didn't listen.

 

What would you do?

I'd say you should put them in the a1 and a2 slots

You want to be running both dimms on different memory channels.
