I am building a gaming pc and I my mother board has 4 DDR3 RAM slots.
My possessor (intel i7 4790k 4GHz 8mb cache quad core) says it only supports 2 memory channels.
I am planning on putting in 32gb of RAM and wondered how the 2 memory channels would affect that (would it mean I can only have 2 RAM sticks as I was going to have 4 8gb ram sticks).
I know than there is a video on this but I didn't make any sense of it.
Could you also tell me if my system will run?
and suggest a case that will take full advantage of my system and keep it cool (depending on the case I will use all the fan spaces)
