5. Configuració i instal·lació

5.1 Llista de comprovació prèvia a la instal·lació

• Ensure your motherboard supports DDR5 memory and the specified speed (6000MT/s). Consult your motherboard's manual.
• Verify that your CPU supports DDR5 memory.
• Update your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI to the latest version for optimal compatibility and performance.
• Reuneix les eines necessàries: tornavís Phillips, corretja antiestàtica per al canell (recomanada).

5.2 Passos d'instal·lació física

1. Apagueu i desconnecteu: Apagueu l'ordinador completament i desendolleu el cable d'alimentació de la presa de corrent.
2. Cas obert: Traieu el panell lateral de la caixa de l'ordinador per accedir a la placa base.
3. Localitza les ranures DIMM: Identify the DDR5 DIMM slots on your motherboard. Refer to your motherboard manual for the correct slot configuration for dual-channel memory (usually slots 2 and 4, or 1 and 3).
4. Clips de retenció oberts: Gently push open the retention clips at both ends of the DIMM slots.
5. Insert Memory Modules: Align the notch on the DDR5 memory module with the key in the DIMM slot. Place the module into the slot and press down firmly and evenly on both ends until the retention clips snap into place. You should hear a click.
6. Verifica la instal·lació: Ensure both clips are fully closed and the module is seated securely.
7. Tanca el cas i torna a connectar: Substitueix el panell lateral de la carcassa de l'ordinador i torna a connectar el cable d'alimentació.

5.3 BIOS/UEFI Configuration (AMD EXPO)

After physical installation, you may need to enable the AMD EXPO profile in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI to achieve the rated speed of 6000MT/s.

1. Enter BIOS/UEFI: Power on your computer and repeatedly press the designated key (commonly Del, F2, F10, o F12) during startup to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup.
2. Localitza la configuració de memòria: Navigate to the memory or overclocking settings. The exact location varies by motherboard manufacturer (e.g., "Ai Tweaker" on ASUS, "M.I.T." on GIGABYTE, "OC" on MSI).
3. Enable EXPO Profile: Look for an option related to "EXPO," "AMD EXPO," "DOCP," or "A-XMP." Select the appropriate EXPO profile (e.g., "EXPO I" or "EXPO II") that corresponds to the rated speed of your RAM.
4. Guardar i sortir: Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI. Your system will restart.

Note: Enabling EXPO is considered overclocking. System stability and achieving the rated speed depend on the compatibility and capability of your motherboard and CPU. Refer to your motherboard's manual for detailed instructions on BIOS/UEFI navigation.

6. Operating and Verification

Once your system boots, you can verify the memory installation and speed through your operating system or BIOS/UEFI.

• Windows: Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Canvi + Esc), go to the "Performance" tab, and select "Memory." You can see the total installed memory and its speed.
• BIOS/UEFI: Re-enter your BIOS/UEFI setup and check the memory information section to confirm the detected speed and capacity.
• Programari de tercers: Tools like CPU-Z can provide detailed information about your installed RAM, including speed, timings, and EXPO profile estat.

7. Manteniment

G.SKILL Flare X5 Series DDR5 RAM modules are designed for long-term reliability and generally require minimal maintenance.

• Eliminació de pols: Periodically clean dust from inside your computer case using compressed air. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Condicions ambientals: Operate your computer in a well-ventilated area with stable room temperature and humidity to prevent overheating and component stress.
• Actualitzacions de firmware: Keep your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI updated, as manufacturers often release updates that improve memory compatibility and stability.

8. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues after installing your G.SKILL Flare X5 Series DDR5 RAM, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• El sistema no arrenca / No hi ha pantalla:
  • Ensure memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Re-seat them firmly.
  • Verify that the modules are installed in the correct DIMM slots as per your motherboard manual for dual-channel operation.
  • Try booting with only one memory module installed to isolate a potentially faulty module.
  • Clear your motherboard's CMOS (refer to your motherboard manual for instructions).
• Incorrect Memory Speed Detected:
  • Ensure the AMD EXPO profile is enabled in your BIOS/UEFI settings (Section 5.3).
  • Verify your motherboard and CPU support the rated 6000MT/s speed.
  • Actualitza la BIOS/UEFI de la teva placa base a la darrera versió.
• System Instability / Blue Screens:
  • If EXPO is enabled, try disabling it or selecting a lower speed profile to check for stability.
  • Run a memory diagnostic tool (e.g., Windows Memory Diagnostic, MemTest86) to check for errors.
  • Assegureu-vos que la font d'alimentació (PSU) sigui suficient per a tots els components del sistema.

If issues persist after following these steps, contact G.SKILL technical support or consult your motherboard manufacturer's support resources.
