Kingston part number is KVR24N17S8/8 for both the chip that came with the machine and the one I am adding. Thanks for your reply. SN

Can someone simply answer the question: Do I need to reset CMOS if I add an additional memory chip? The computer came with one in A2 and I want add another to B2. I would like to know if I can simply add the new chip and leave the CMOS alone! Hopefully I will get an answer this time so thanks in advance. Steve

Thanks for the reply. I have ordered exactly the same memory chip - Kingston - that was originally installed in the computer. I would like to know if I have to reset the CMOS when I add the new chip. And, if I do, what happens next.
Thank you for your help. SteveN |

Dear Steven,
Thank you for choosing ASRock.
Regarding your question, ASRock suggests
our customer choose the identical memory modules,
include the memory brand, capacity, and frequency. Two different memory kits version might be
different, may cause the system unstable. We also provide the memory QVL for reference, all
the memory modules on the list have been tested and can works properly. https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/B250M%20Pro4/index.asp#Memory
Thank you! Yours truly,
ASRock TSD |

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, first memory stick is in A2 and I know to insert the second into B2. I am more uneasy about resetting the CMOS than adding the memory.

I suggest you insert the new ram as the manual states: priority1 is A2 and B2, priority2 is A1 and B1.
Since you have ram already in B1 try new stick in A1, if it gives issues then move ram to A2 and B2 and reset CMOS. You may need to go into BIOS and change BOOT order after reset. |
