Ram question

[Daniel1]

When adding more ram to the motherboard later on, do you have to flash the motherboard?  If so what happens to the motherboard when you flash the motherboard?

[APasz]

No need to flash the motherboard. The only reason to flash the mobo is if you have issues with the current bios or an update is absolutely required.

When you flash a mobo, you remove the current bios and replace it with a new one.

Thank you.  So if you add more ram, you don't have to do anything to your motherboard?

Not to the mobo no. If you are adding ram along side existing ram though, it has to be the same ram or at the very least, same voltage, cas timings and latency.

Thanks again.

I had a new build that needed to be flashed due to 4X4GB RAM causing a boot loop. You should not need a BIOS flash for a ram upgrade, but it is possible.
