While, I go over common ways to install RAM into your PC, your motherboard, not all motherboards support the same configurations. Please check your motherboard manual to be 100% sure. Also, we also did make 1 mistake, the date and lot code portion, though not really a mistake. This was originally How to install RAM in a PC for Beginners but it would work out fine as How to install RAM in a PC for Beginners as well. Original How to Install and Configuring RAM in a PC Easy To Follow Guide, you know if your wondering how to install ram in pc.
Different memory manufacturers place their date/lot codes in different places, and their sequence codes as well, though the naming could be different as well. So the date and lot code here, on these sticks of RAM is "2865 2021 Nov", built in November probably 28th, lot 65 in 2021. Here, since it is its own sticker, the sequence differentiates the memory, 21454955296, 21454955294, 21454955295, 21454955293, the number at the end, 3,4,5,6 tells you which is which. I hope this makes sense to you, if not, please let me know in the comments and I can help you.
We show you how to install RAM on the Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) as an example, but I show you how to configure the RAM on the ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 motherboard. We then show you how to configure XMP and we show you the timings and how to set them but I don't set them because we are using an XMP profile so you can see if RAM Speed really matter. This will show you how to change ram speed in bios but it will help you how to install new ram in pc and installing ram in a pc or installing new ram on pc.
How to install ram in a PC for Beginners and we go over how to install ddr4 ram in pc or how to install ddr4 ram into a pc. Having the RAM correctly installed can mean the difference between dual channel memory and single channel memory, dual of course providing the most performance.

Bought a cheap open box prebuilt back before the pandemic and its starting to really show its age so I picked up a bunch of parts to overhaul it on black Friday. Thanks for this, I have no idea what I am doing but am excited to learn.

You don't install ram you download ram everybody knows that

You just earned another subs. I'm a complete beginner to the PC community. I bought a used PC with only one stick of 8GB RAM and I bought a new one to increase it to 16GB. After that, I booted up my PC and my monitor doesn't have any signal, I was panicking and scared cause it's my first PC I bought with my own money and at that time I thought just getting a new RAM is gonna be easy. The pre-installed RAM has 2666MHZ and the one I inserted has 3200MHZ. So I was like maybe that's why, but when I did a bit of research, that my MOBO and CPU has lower max RAM speeds than the new RAM I bought and it says that the MOBO will auto down clock the higher RAM speed to match up the limit from the MOBO. But even then, my monitor has no signals from my PC even after I boot it up. Now I'm just using the pre-installed RAM 1x8GB 😅
