I’m having problems with my pc since I built it a few months ago. I crashed in games after playing for some time (1 hour or up to 4 hours). Usually, it was the graphics driver crashing so I thought the GPU had problems. I reinstalled the newest drivers and even did clean reinstalls of Windows, manually installing the drivers with no internet connection. I flashed the BIOS to the newest Version (twice as a new update was released during my own troubleshooting). Problems consisted but I noticed that it was not always the graphics driver crashing, also sometimes the system would reboot with the crash and sometimes not. Thinking it might not be the GPU I reseated the CPU and started testing the RAM with Memtest86 and found errors all over the place, with and without XMP enabled. I read up on tweaking the RAM timings and used values from a guide I found online ( this website). I opted for the 6000 Hz 30-38-38-96 settings. Memtest showed no errors after, and I didn’t crash for some days (maybe I was just lucky). I started crashing again and Memtest also showed errors again. I tried testing with only one RAM stick in slot 2 at a time (they were in 2 and 4 before that). With one stick the tests had no errors even after several times. I'm using the PC with one RAM stick at the moment and no crashes since. I also stress tested with AIDA64 to maybe find out more. With two RAM sticks in and stressing everything the test failed in less than a minute. Only when stressing the GPU only and CPU (without stressing cache) only the test didn’t fail. RAM and cache only resulted in an almost immediate failure. With one RAM stick, in both cases, the test went fine stressing all the components together. I tested for 5 hours. So, I assume that it’s a hardware problem but from testing I would assume it is either the CPU or Motherboard that is having an issue, unfortunately I have no parts at hand to switch without sending either of them in. Is there something else I could try? What part is more likely to be broken? Or am I wrong with my assumptions all together?

*After replacing the old cpu cooler, the OS does not recognize the ram installed on the left slot and when I checked CPU-Z, it shows that I am running on a single channel even though I installed two sticks of ram on both my ram slots. Is this an OS problem or perhaps my left ram slot is at fault? Also when I only put ram on the right ram slot it boots but when i put it on left, it does not boot.*

Here are the specs: B450M DS3H Gigabyte RX 580 Ryzen 5 3600 1 8GB 3200mhz old Corsair Vengeance LPX and 1 New (Might be defective?) 8GB 3200MHZ Vengeance LPX Problem: So the delivery arrived today and decided to dual channel my new ram to my old ram so that it can work and the problem is, from left to right (1-4) I put 1 (old) in 4 channel and 1 (new) in 2 channel and it didn't work, Tried something else when I put the old one in 4 and the new one at 3, It works? but only in single channel. So, Why it doesn't work on dual channel?

Hello everyone! I hope you're doing well. I have a question regarding my system upgrade. Currently, I have a single stick of ADATA XPG GAMMIX D30 DDR4 16GB memory with the model number AX4U3200716G16A-SR30. I'm interested in upgrading to a dual channel configuration by purchasing another identical stick. However, I've noticed that ADATA is selling a slightly different model, specifically the AX4U3200316G16A-SR30, on Amazon India and other retailers. While the frequency and latency specifications remain the same, I'm unsure about whether these models are compatible for a dual channel setup. I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions you may have regarding the best approach in this situation. Thank you in advance!

I have a Gigabyte B760M DS3H AX Rev 1.x MB (DDR 5) paired with intel core i5-1200F and 2 X AD5U48008G-S ram sticks. I am planning to add 2 more sticks since I am getting them cheap. Currently 16 GB is being sufficient for my, only in a game or two, it almost reaches 13-14GB. My question is, if I add two more sticks to populate all four ram slots with identical memory modules (AD5u48008G-S, non kit), will it result in stability issues? The processor supports dual channel memory only and the motherboard too. Will this cause any issue with stability of my config?

Hey friends, I am building a toy computer for hosting game servers and such. The problem I am having is with booting the system with 2 RAM sticks. I can boot the system with a RAM stick in the Channel B slot, but the same stick in the Channel A slot does not get passed the DRAM error light. It also does not boot with matching sticks in both RAM slots. Specs: CPU: i5-7600k MoBo: ROG ASUS B250i RAM: Gskill DDR4-3000 CL15-16-16-30 2x8GB Any advice for troubleshooting would be appreciated.

I currently have 2 8GB 3000mHz sick in my board and I'm looking to upgrade. Would I see any benefit from adding two of the same sticks over replacing them with 2 16GB sticks (excluding price differences and specific brands/models of RAM sticks. I mainly want to learn more about the whole 4 slots, 2 channels, gotta put the sticks in the right slots, etc). I think it's obvious by now, but I'm fairly new to the PC building space. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I have a Ryzen 7 1700x with a GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 motherboard that needs a RAM upgrade from 16 GB to 32 GB. I have 2 sticks of 8 GB that run at 2400 MHz, and I was wondering if I could buy new 3200 MHz sticks that would still run in dual channel. I'm aware that the BIOS will default the frequency to 2400 MHz, but I would like to buy the higher speed RAM for future proof (If I reuse it on other build), or reselling factor. So, do can I buy 3200 MHz RAM, even if they run at 2400 MHz, or do I need to buy 2400 MHz DIMMs? If I have to buy 2400 MHz sticks, I'm aware that they preferably should be of the same brand and model, but is that completely necessary? Thanks!

Ok so here's the story. For about a year or 2 I have been running my pc with 20gb of ram 2 2gb sticks of 1600 ddr3 from corsair and 2 8gb of 1866 ddr3 of hyperx. I was looking at my speeds and it's been throttling them I think to around 1200 I'm not quite sure how they work it's reading around 600 on cpuz and it mentioned doubling them?.... I wanted to remove the 2gn sticks and leave just the 16gb for a hopeful increase in speeds and leave it open for a hopeful upgrade. If I leave the sticks in formation c2 c2 h8 h8 it boots like normal. If I remove the corsair memory and align them as seen in videos at 0 h8 0 h8 I see board start but it never goes to the bios screen so I can change things it just stays black. I'm assuming it's not posting?..... I'm very unsure of how to proceed. I've just been replacing the array until now that I'm off for the weekend. Any help is appreciated. -
DDR5 integrated dual channel enough?
Illogic Plague posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Since DDR5 has integrated dual channel a single stick is enough to be running in dual channel mode. Does that mean having one stick will have very similar performance to running with two? I know 2 would then have quad channel, but am unsure how much of a difference that makes. has anyone benchmarked this? For context I'm running a sffpc that for clearance reasons due to my AIO I am forced to only have one stick and am wondering how much performance I'm leaving on the table. -
Hey everyone, after fighting BSODs for a while, I think that either a DIMM or a RAM slot is broken. No BSODs while using slots 2 and 4 (going from CPU socket), immediate BSOD while using slots 1, 2, and 4, and (so far) no BSODs using slots 2, 3, and 4 with the same sticks as before. So either way, I can't populate all slots, either because a slot is dead or a RAM stick is dead. I have a matching set of 4 8GB GSkill Aegis 3000MHz sticks. I'd much rather have 24GB than 16GB, obviously - but other posts are quite ambiguous on whether this is a good idea, generally advising against mixing and matching RAM (which I wouldn't be doing) or mentioning that it'd run in single channel. So my question would be if this would be a good idea stability wise, and whether it'd actually run in single channel. Buying a new motherboard isn't a very attractive option, as I'm running a Ryzen 1600 and wouldn't want to inveset in a dying platform - B550 doesn't support it afaik, and I might upgrade once GPU pricing becomes reasonable, so throwing money at a mobo that I might run for a year or so doesn't seem great. EDIT: Before anyone mentions it: I'm running the RAM at 2133MHz to make sure the BSODs weren't from the RAM being too fast. I know first gen Ryzen doesn't like that very much. -
I have a laptop which I sometimes use for Capture One or Lightroom CC. I have 3 ram sticks 8gb and 1x16gb. The performance is not great but I would like to improve it where I can. Should I go 2x8gb or 24gb using an 8gb stick with the 16.

Greetings, I am trying to help a friend which all his life he was running 16gb ram 2 sticks in A2 B1 slots (Single channel) but eventually his computer would not boot with more than 2 sticks no matter if dual or single channel We now purchased another motherboard and on first try the computer worked fine on dual channel A2 B2 slots but when we enabled XMP 3200 the pc didn't boot so we disabled xmp and pc booted again at 2100mhz but atleast both sticks worked fine at dual channel Eventually after 1 hour of use or more pc turned off and the pc won't turn on dual channel anymore no matter the bios settings xmp or whatsoever Atleast the pc can still run with 2 or even 3 ram sticks in single channel So our results now are Old motherboard used to run single channel multiple sticks but never in dual channel ended up to not support multiple sticks anymore just 1 stick at any motherboard slot would work New motherboard initially worked at dual channel but now denies to boot on dual channel with a red light warning in motherboard with name DRAM however the motherboard works fine with multiple sticks in single channel as long as we don't initiate dual channel everything works fine We tried everything reseating rams reseating coolers cables etc we replaced motherboards different sticks we tried bios updates in motherboard i don't know what to suspect anymore PSU? faulty cpu? what could that be Ram DDR4: Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200 CL16 PSU:550W Bequiet CPU: Intel i7 7700k SSD+HDD+4 fans Dark rock pro 4 cooler -
So on my laptop has a Samsung 16 GB 3200 Mhz 2Rx8 CL22 ram stick and I bought another Samsung 16 GB 3200 Mhz 1Rx8 CL22 ram stick. Does it run in dual channel if I have them both installed together and does it have worse performance than ram sticks in kits?

I have 2 stick already configured in dual channel. For now I only hv budget for 1 more ram stick. Will adding this 3rd ram stick hamper performance? All the Ram sticks are gskill ripjaws 3200mhz -
This is my cousins pc. We tried everything we could in msconfig, regedit, paging. When we go into the bios, the motherboard recognizes both dimms but it says that 8gb physical memory is available. Similar to this, when we insepct system info windows shows that the loaded total physical memory is 16gb but then it says that total physical memory is 7.95gb and shows only 5.89gb of that as useable. Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 Ram: hyper x fury 8gb DDR4 2667mhz (x2) Motherboard: MSI A320m pro-5 edit: just to be sure we put his ram sticks into my motherboard and they worked just fine. 16gb physical, 16gb usable etc..

I'm looking to upgrade my G14, I have 8Gb cl22 3200hz ram preinstalled, but im not sure how to go dual channel on ryzen 4000 ( 4800hs to be exact ), im pretty sure cl doesn't matter as long as its as fast or faster it will just clock down, I know that I need the same speed or faster ( which is alow completely unnecessary ) but im not sure if o need to go the same size, would it bee dual-channel whit 8+16? I presume it probably wouldn't but I couldn't find any clear extraction. Thanks for your answers!

If one was to have two different pairs of RAM, in what order does one install them to function properly in dual channel with its matching module? [slots 1 - 3 and 2 - 4] or [slots 1-2 and 3 - 4] ? -
I have an Asus M570DD (X570DD Software Reported) Laptop, I have bought a stick that is the same brand, speed and cas latency (Micron/Crucial) however it is not in the same capacity. Is there any possibility that my laptop is going to run in dual channel or "Like dual channel" sort of technology? I have checked out this topictopic alltho I still wanna make sure and i haven't found ones for laptop. Since I couldn't open the laptop anywhere myself (I'm missing some tools) I've decided to take it to the technician and he says that it won't but I wanna know what the community thinks... Specs for it: CPU: Ryzen 5 3500U GPU: GTX 1050 Mobile 4GB RAM: 1x Micron 8GB DDR4-2666 CL19 (from what i can gather in CPU-Z) pre-installed Storage: 256 GB NVME SSD The stick I'm installing is an Crucial (by Micron so it is the same brand I'm sure) 4GB DDR4-2666 CL19 at 1.2V Thanks in Advance! -
Hello, 2 days ago i was playing WoW when suddenly my pc crashed, and went into a boot loop i saw the "DRAM" indicator on my motherboard light up, then reboot. At that moment i pulled 1 of my 2 Ram sticks (G Skill 3600 16gb) and the pc booted no problem, put the 2nd stick back in and worked fine till 1 day later when it boot looped again. I thought i'd try the same fix, but sadly this didn't work the 2nd time. Since then i have tried putting Ram stick 1 in all 4 slots , tried booting every time and it boot looped only when a stick is seated in one of the 2 right ram slots, i thought it may have been the RAM stick itself so tried the same with RAM stick 2 same results. My question is, does anyone have an idea if this would be a motherboard , CPU, or other problem? is there any way i can know for certain? (i don't have any other components except for an old corsair vengenace LPX 16G kit, which also only works in single channel, but this RAM is also not on the compatibility list with my mobo) specs : Aorus Z390 Elite motherboard G skill 3600 16GB kit intel i5-9600k gigabyte gtx 1080 G1 gaming 8GB please, i'm very desperate -
Hi there! currently, I have a 16GB RAM kit (2x8) in my Asus Z390a Motherboard running an Intel i7 8700K at Stock speeds. The original plan was to upgrade to 32GB by swapping the current RAM kit to a 32GB RAM kit (2x16GB). But what about mixing these two kits in order to have 48GB? Would the whole system run in single channel, or do you get like one kit running in dual channel and the other one in single channel or both in dual channel? Looking at the specs, they do match in Clock speeds.

yeah, I know my memory and pc are old. I will be using a rx 480, not the integrated gpu. is it worth to change the 10gb for the 8gb dual channel? for gaming -
I want to upgrade my RAM memory on my Dell workstation, the RAM is clocked at 1600mhz, once I heard that some OEMs force you to use validated memory on their systems, does this workstation will need some specific brand memory o whatever DDR3 1600mhz will be fine? Also, CAS latency affects dual channel? For example, if the RAM stick is 11 CAS and the new one is 16 CAS will they work on dual channel or they need to be the same CAS? And another thing, can I run a DDR3 and a DDR3L memory sticks on dual channel?

Hey all, So I've preordered an RTX 3090 for my next build, which I'm looking to pair with the new 5900X or 5950X from AMD (I'll cast my judgement when I see the announcement). I've always wanted an all out gaming rig and I've saved up for so long, I can finally spend the money on it happily. Questions I have are to do with the memory, however. Looking at some G.Skill Trident Z Neo modules, probably going to get 4 modules because I want to see the full bank on the motherboard. Weird but you know how it is. So I'll either go with 4x8GB (the more affordable, probably-gonna-be-okay-with-32GB option) as opposed to 4x16GB. -Is there any benefit of using 2 DIMMs of 16GB over 4 DIMMs of 8GB, when installing memory? Faster access etc? (Is it worth the tradeoff of not having a full bank and never being satisfied with how it looks?) -I'm looking to get 3600MHz modules. but notice the latencies go up when you start to raise the frequency, unless you want to spend an unfathomable amount on RAM. I know we can't be sure how Zen 3 will react to memory speeds, but based on Zen 2, is it better to get something like a 3200MHz CL14 kit (14-14-14-34), or a 3600MHz CL16 kit (16-16-16-36)? Or does it really not make that much difference at all? Sorry for the long winded post but I want this build to have as few 'what ifs' as possible! Cheers, Rhys -
I would like to have a dual channel memory for ryzen. There are 2 options i found . 1 x 8GB https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Memory/VENGEANCE-LPX/p/CMK8GX4M1Z3600C18 2 x 8GB https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Memory/VENGEANCE-LPX/p/CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 The second option is dual channel. But it's not available in market. I am planning to buy 2 kits of the first option. Will it work as dual channel?
