What is dual+ channel XMP?

Hello LinusTechTips community,

 

today I bought a new machine and I went right up to the benchmarks. I bought a 3800X with a 5700XT on a MSI B450 Mortar Max motherboard and with it 16GB of DDR4 ram at 3200MHz.

So my question is: I've activated XMP in the BIOS, and my taskmanager is reporting that my memory is running at 3200MHz but I got the following alert at userbenchmark.com.

What is wrong with my configuration?

 

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,

José Reis.

Are you using slots two and four of your motherboard? (counting from the left side).

If so, I wouldn't worry about this whole warning.

Yes, I am. I also double checked and I must use slots 2 and 4 first, which I am doing.

The motherboard has a little scheme close to the 4 ram slots. It looks like this and it tells me to use slots 2 and 4 first xD

Suddenly, that website stopped reporting that problem. I went to the BIOS and explored it a little bit but I didn't change any configuration that may be related to the DDR, so.. I don't know what happened.
