What would cause the second memory channel on i5 3470k to not function?  Both sticks work in single channel mode. 

 

Could it be the socket or motherboard?

 

Any suggestions would help. Thanks in advance.

My AsRock z77 Extreme 4 had memory channel issues. 

 

Would guess your board.

I think the memory controller for that generation of Intel processor is on the chip, so maybe it failed. That hardware is now quite old though, so it could be the motherboard instead. Hard to diagnose yourself without a second motherboard and/or processor, but at this point it might be time for an upgrade. 

My Current Setup:

AMD Ryzen 5900X

Kingston HyperX Fury 3200mhz 2x16GB

MSI B450 Gaming Plus

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

WD 5400RPM 2TB

EVGA G3 750W

Corsair Carbide 300R

Arctic Fans 140mm x4 120mm x 1
