So, I have A320M-PRO-VDS-V2, a motherboard that support dual channel with only 2 slots for memory sticks
I did buy 2x8GB 24000mhz sticks when I build my pc back in 2018
Earlier this year one of them is not functioning anymore, it just dead
Using the dead sticks wouldn't let the pc boot up. So now I only use one of them
this is the dead stick, I open it because I thouhgt something might burn inside... but i see nothing indicate a burned board
Now I have enough money to get only 1 ram stick (living in a third world country, so please don't say "it just few bucks")
But a seller tell me "it won't work as dual channel if you buy a single kit"
So.... is the seller telling the truth that if I just mix match the sticks, even though the the new will have the same speed (with slightly different CL) it won't work?
What should I do?
using an 8GB memory in 2022 is really limiting
