[SOLVED] Dual Channel on a Asus Prime H310M-E R2.0/BR?

[Computer-Doofus]

Hey.

So i decided to upgrade my RAM, but stumpled on some serious questions about wether or not my motherboard properly supports dual channel memory.

I have an Asus Prime h310m-e r2.0/br motherboard, which is a localized brazillian model. However, i'm having a hard time getting the information i need since the manual it came with doesnt say jack about it supporting DC and i fear all the information in the official brazillian Asus page to be kinda sketchy due to it not being your generic h310 motherboard.

I also checked CPU-Z and the memory channel # is 1, which is expected since the motherboard only has 2 memory slots (A1 and B1), and currently my only 3000 mhz RAM stick is on B1. My CPU should be able to handle DC properly (an I3 9100F), but after all this i'm not so sure about the motherboard.

If anyone could give me some proper clarification on whether or not this motherboard really works with DC, i would be really thankful.

You should be good to go.

Yes althought only two slots that is just going to limit the ammount of RAM you can have. Also yes, hey white.a.drew is there such thing as a single channel memory motherboard now a days, I would think not as I haven't heard of them. A one one slot single channel doesn't exist now a days I would think. Also 2 channel motherboards are pretty rare as well as you can buy budget mobo's from ASUS and Gigabyte a like and get 4 slots for dual channel same as dual channel 2 slot config but in future then can upgarde ram to more sticks for still dual channel but more RAM basically. 👨🏽‍🦲👌💯🙈😷

Thank you very much, both of you. But mind telling me where you got those specs, white.a.drew? As i already said i'm doubtful about anything on the BR Asus page (or standard US page, for that matter) because i'm afraid of poor comunication between manufacturers and poor cataloguing of motherboard specs.

Im trying to figure out your question or conern my friend. Can I intervene on this? I think your good to go and the reason it might not state it is because a BIOS upgarde kicks in and allow for enhanced things or dual channel or anything like that which is something I sorta doubt. 💯✝😷🙈

I'm a bit more relieved now, since you both say it should work. But i need 100% confirmation on the subject and sources, just to be sure. Call it paranoia if you want, but i can't really afford any mistakes with my hardware since PC parts are very, VERY expensive here in Brazil. Bare in mind, your standard US $50 RAM stick is worth well over 300-400 bucks in here, so not exactly cheap.

Let me do some research on this and get back to you. So you can be 100 percent sure or 100 percent not sure.

Ok since there is a Aand AB and not a A and C there is a high chance it will work in single channel mode. So there is your answer, hope this helps sort it out for your. Because it has to be A1 or B2 but its A1 B1 so as I said there is a hgih probability it can run in single channel only. The best way to find out for sure is to call ASUS support and tell them the model you have and BIOS revision you have and wheter it can work in dual channel or not. I still stick with my previous statement that is can but you need to make sure as A1 B1 is suspect to me.

Thank you for the effort, i'll be sure to contact Asus support and and sort the situation out once and for all.

Sorry for the late reply, it run's in single channle bios 1 but update the bios it runs dual channel. Asus support said to make sure you update the bios with only one stick inserted, that way it dosn't update to single channle running dual sticks.

I've also got some answers back from BR Asus support, and they told me i should have no problems with dual channel. They even gave me a nifty little list of qualified vendors:

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/PRIME_H310M-E/PRIME-H310M-E_Memory-QVL-list.pdf

There's no specific mention of a PRIME H310M-E R2.0/BR motherboard on the list though, only the standard H310M-E model. So i'm still a little iffy about this one. Gonna try to use a second RAM stick anyways, and in case anything bad happens i'll try out you guys' advices.

On a sidenote, what about the CPU-Z scan? Not really a RAM question, but still; It listed my memory as single channel. Is that because i'm only using a single RAM stick or is it saying that single channel is all my motherboard is capable of using? I've seen some cases where people called CPU-Z unreliable and i'm also fairly inexperienced with CPU-Z myself, so any clarification on this regard would also be greatly appreciated.
