ASROCK X570 PHANTOM GAMING X (01) PDF Document

The ASRock X570 PHANTOM GAMING X motherboard has four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. You must install identical DDR4 DIMM pairs for dual channel configuration. You cannot activate Dual Channel Memory Technology with only one or three memory modules installed. You are not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot as this may damage the motherboard and DIMM. For better DRAM compatibility with 2 DIMMs, it is suggested to install the memory modules on DDR4_A2 and DDR4_B2 first.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. Forcing the DIMM into the slot at an incorrect orientation will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM.
