ASUS KGPE-D16 Technical Updates
This is an information update for the user guide that comes with your motherboard
package.
DDR3 memory support
(page 1-5)
The KGPE-D16 supports UDIMM and RDIMM DDR3 memory that features data
transfer rates of 1333/1066/800 MHZ to meet the higher bandwidth requirements
of server and workstation applications. The 4-channel DDR3 architecture boosts
system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidth of up to 42.7GB/s.
Furthermore, the supply voltage for the memory is reduced from 1.8 V for DDR2 to
just 1.5V for DDR3. This voltage reduction limits the power consumption and heat
generation of DDR3 which makes it an ideal memory solution.
2.4.2 MemoryCongurations
(page 2-17)
You may install 1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB/16GB Registerd or 1GB/2GB/4GB Unbuffered
with ECC/Non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory
congurations in this section.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor.
• For CPU1 conguraton, install DIMMs from the orange slots and in the
order as follows: DIMM_A2 -> DIMM_C2 -> DIMM_B2 -> DIMM_D2.
For CPU1 + CPU2 conguraton, install DIMMs from the orange slots and in
the order as follows: DIMM_A2 -> DIMM_E2 -> DIMM_C2 -> DIMM_G2.
