Is my ram module capable of dual channel?

[CBojorges]

I bought a Kingston 8 gb ddr4 ram module when I built my computer and I wanna add another. Is it gonna work in dual channel? 

 

I already googled it but I don't understand the specifications 

 

My module is HX421C14FB/8

Thanks in advance.

It's you mbo that suports dual channel or not.

Seems like it

I thought that's how it worked but I just watched a techquickie video that says the ram also has to be compatible. 

 

Linus says that the easiest way of looking out is by how many ram modules does the package includes. 

 

Also, my mobo does support dual channel.

Just get another module like that and it should work "normally".

 

Ideally you want to buy ram in kits because they are optimized to work with each other.

That's what I thought. Thanks!

well technically it's the cpus memory controller that determines this on modern platforms.

I just wanted to update this thread in case someone has the same question and finds this thread. 

 

Yes. This ram modules work in dual channel. I bought another ram module separately and it's working in dual channel.

Not True. The Ram sticks have NOTHING to do with single, Dual or Quad Channel.

It 100% depends on the Motherboard Chipset, and it's Memory Controler.

 

you can put any 2 Ram sticks into a Motherboard (no matter what latency or Clock speed. Just  Size has to be the same), and if the Motherboard supports Dual channel, it will Run as Dual Channel.

You can even put a 2gb stick from Kingston + 2gb stick from Corsair into Channel A (Slot 1 + 2), and put a 4gb stick from Gskill into Channel B (Slot 3, or 4), and Dual Channel will Work.

Because, in this case, you have 4gb in Channel A, and 4gb in Channel B.

I don't know if that doesn't apply to ddr4.

It doesnt^^

Ram modules are much easier than most people think.

Even if you buy 2 single Sticks, Dual Channel will work ^^
