RAM Confusion - DIMM0/1 or Channel A/B

[liamtivey]

So i would like some advice as just a little confused. I just downloaded Intel ETU,

Within this i was studying my RAM. I have two pairs of 8BG sticks. One pair in black and one pair in grey. To my understanding these were the channels. However Intel software is saying something that's confusing me. From what i see below my pairs are in the same DIMM's however in different channels. I may be lacking some knowledge here.

If i use Speccy this is what comes up on the RAM speed
32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz. Which is half whats stated below. Hence my confusion

My config is as follows:

Bank Label: Bank 0
Device Locator: ChannelA-DIMM0
Default Speed: 1600 MHz
Capacity: 8.00 GB
Manufacturer: Hynix/Hyundai

Bank Label: Bank 1
Device Locator: ChannelA-DIMM1
Default Speed: 1600 MHz
Capacity: 8.00 GB
Manufacturer: 1315

Bank Label: Bank 2
Device Locator: ChannelB-DIMM0
Default Speed: 1600 MHz
Capacity: 8.00 GB
Manufacturer: Hynix/Hyundai

Bank Label: Bank 0
Device Locator: ChannelB-DIMM1
Default Speed: 1600 MHz
Capacity: 8.00 GB
Manufacturer: 1315


If i use speccy this is what comes up on the RAM speed
32.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz


Do i have the sticks in the wrong slots? even though on the mobo the pairs are in the right colours? i.e 2x grey and 2x black

Current setup:
Gigabyte Gaming 3 z97
Intel i7 4790
Asus GTX 1050Ti
32GB RAM @ 1600MHz (Apparently)

1. DDR = Double Data Rate . 799 x 2 = 1600 (or close enough)
That is reading exactly as it should be.

2. You have 4x RAM sticks. You have 4x RAM slots.
You don't have any other options of where to put those RAM sticks.

Thank you for your reply. That's something that i should've worked out for myself. I didn't put two and two together this time. Pun not intended! I guess i assumed it would show in Speccy as it does in the Intel software.

Much appreciation
