Hello, I have 2x8 GB Skill Memory sticks and I was wondering if I could use Duel-Channel but how does I have to install that or activate that?.

Specs: AMD FX 6300 3,5 Ghz
Nvidia Geforce GTX 750

Cooler master 500W

Yes of course! I have the exact same motherboard and use a dual-channel (2x4) 8GB kit from G.Skill. And it works great! And no, there's no such thing as a "install" to enable this, the motherboard already knows to accept it. And FYI, your motherboard can also support up to 32GB, just if you're interested.

Hope this helps, and have fun.

Hey, How do I have to install my Ram in the DIMM Slots?

and ive got another problem, When I am playing a game windows say that I have to close the program for more ram so that's wired.

So, when you install your RAM into the motherboard, there should be 4 total slots. You need to take the two sticks and then put one stick in the slot closest to the CPU, then skip a slot, then put the other stick into the 3rd slot. Something like this:

RAM= ||| Empty DIMM Slot= OO

||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
<---CPU ||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO
||| OO ||| OO

And as for your computer giving you that message, make sure you have the RAM in these positions, then check back with me.

Hmm.... did you buy the two sticks each separately or as a single kit together?

If you bought them as a kit, send them back in and get a new kit. I really don't know after this point.
