I have a cooler that hangs over the 1st and 2nd Memory DIMM Slots.
Is it a big problem when I put my memory in slot 3 and 4 because not running in a dual channel
Because the instructions state that you must do the ram in slot 2 and 4
Do i lose performance

thanks for your reply

    from the manual : The Intel Z370 chipset supports dual-®channel DDR4 memory, a maximum of 64GB and up to 4133MHz+ (OC). You must populate even-slots (2, 4) first. The board will not boot if only odd-slots (1, 3) are populated.

    so i guess yes you are losing performance.
    https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html will show you the configuration of your ram as well to be sure if its dual channel or not.
