Single Channel

I've been using this PC for approximately 6 months perfectly well from Jan to June. One day, it failed to POST, so I took it to the store. They diagnosed the issue as a malfunctioning RAM module, replaced it, and the PC booted up fine. It worked perfectly well for the next 6 days, but on the 7th...

I'm close to buying my new 2x16GB modules, however I'm a bit skeptical over the following thing: Before going any further, I KNOW what everyone out there says: "there's no such thing as dual channel modules, you only need to make sure your modules have the same specs so that the motherboard can...

I use the ASUS Sabertooth 990 FX with an AMD FX-8350 and this memory modules: Corsair XMS3 DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR3-1333, CL9-9-9-24 (CMX16GX3M2A1333C9) Corsair XMS3 DIMM 4GB, DDR3-1600, CL9-9-9-24 (CMX4GX3M1A1600C9) I know about the problems in this case with different volt, speed etc. That's ok...

Hi I wanted to buy a ram of different speed of what I already have .the difference is not just in speed but in Vol and timing too. the question is if I run them in single channel, would there be any kind of problem that I have to worry about? ( I'm buying the new one in higher specifics so that...

Hey guys. As it says in the title, PC seems slower after installing new RAM. I've also seen CPU being at 100% in task manager when barely doing anything on the computer. Games started stuttering and freezing. This is the RAM i had before...

Hey, so i dont think this needs much explaining: Im running on MSI H61M-P22 B3 (there are total of 2 ram slots) 1x8 GB DDR3 1333Mhz Any idea whats going on? Its running stable, but i feel like im getting bad performace in games. Also could this be because of Windows 11? Thank you.

Once again in my time of need, I turn to Tom's Hardware! Hey guys, I have a question. I bought my PC about a year and half ago and at the time, since I didn't know any better, I got 16gb single channel RAM (HyperX 3200MHz module). Now, I've found out that dual channel works a lot better in...

I overclocked my century old FX-6300 from stock (3.5GHz) to 3.7GHz and then got thermally limited. But after comparing Cinebench R23 MultiCore scores, the stock config gets 200 more points than the OC config. (2000 vs 2210). I just wanna get acceptable frames in Apex and so I decided to...

Hey guys! Got 2 x 8GB new RAM sticks (I have a total of 32 GB now). Firstly, PC wasn't booting up, just a beep and restart loop. I re-seated the RAM and now it works, but the PC somehow seems slower. I checked CPU-Z and the new RAM are recognized as single channel, even though old RAM are...

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask the following: if I replace my single stick of ram with two sticks of ram, do I need to make any changes to the BIOS settings? Do I need to load defaults in BIOS, or maybe change some settings in the memory section? My motherboard is Gigabyte B250 hd3p. Thank...

I have a ram (Kingston KVR16N11S84 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 CL11) and i want to buy another stick. But i can't find the same model on Amazon. So my question is if i used different Rams(like only model change). So how much performance difference there will be if i used same frequency ram?

Can someone who knows stuff about dual channel and flex memory mode explain to me , what's the difference between them ? I've read a comment somewhere, where someone said "single channel < flex memory mode < dual channel". I am going for a laptop which will have 8GB + 4GB RAM and want to know...

I have had 3 8 gb sticks in my comp until I recently read that this was slowing it down due to it only using single channel. Do I take one out to use 2x 8gb sticks for dual channel, or do I leave all 3 in?

Recently I downloaded CPU-Z to check if my RAM was correctly installed because it was underperforming, and I discovered that it is set to single channel mode even though I had 2 sticks om RAM installed. When I launch BIOS, it says that they ARE in dual channel mode, but CPU-Z still says it's in...

Specifically laptop memory. I'm using a Lenovo V155-15API laptop for some editing and starting to hit the useable 6gb of 8gb ram installed. One ram stick is soldered to the motherboard and the other is occupied by a 4gb stick. If i replaced this stick with a larger one, would both the sticks...

So I've heard you can use 3 sticks of ram on your motherboard, but I've also heard it could decrease performance because you have to use one stick in single channel mode. My question is, if ram usage stays under 8gb (assuming there are 2x4gb sticks running in dual channel and one 4gb stick...

My Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6yqBCb So when uplay just now gave away AC Unity for free i decided to try it out but i quickly saw that it was barely playable, running at 20-30 fps! Is this because i only have one stick of 2400 mHz DDR4? Would getting another one with the EXACT same...

So I'm using the AMD Radeon Settings to Center my screen at a smaller resolution (4k to 1080p), and instead of having the smaller screen in the center I want to move it to eye height so I don't have to look up. Is there any way to achieve this?

I built my computer sometime around 2015, have kept up with regular maintenance and had never had many issues. However, just out of nowhere nearly all my games have "stopped working". They either give me the generic this program has stopped running, or just stays a black screen forever. Some...
