So I delivered my pc from another country and Iong story short 2 slots closest to cpu (DIMM_A1 , DIMM_A2) are dead (windows memory diagnostic tool gives error message for these slots, no matter the ram i put in there. Also a lot of crashes tend to happen. My question is: how well will DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2 work, since they have different colours and not dual channal? They do not give errors from memory diagnostic toll.
My motherboard is B560-M plus from asus.
 
Solution
Intel is not particularly sensitive to ram speed so single channel operation will not be noticed.
Integrated graphics does get better with faster ram.

Defective slots are often caused by a bent pin in the cpu socket.
It is all too easy to do if you do not drop the chip in cleanly.
