Two Single Channel Memory in Dual Channel Motherboard

[bodlat25]

I'm new here and I'm bewbie in building PC. I want to put 2 single channel memory, but it won't work. I ask and test where I bought the memory, they said it's working and they also said I should update my BIOS, but still won't work. How come that mine won't work? What should I do?

Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE
CPU: Intel Core I3 4160
GPU: Inno3D GT730
RAM: Apotop 4GB 1600Mhz (11-11-11-28 1.5V)

Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
Although, I think the problem has lessened with the newer Intel chipsets. Still,
it is safer to get what you need in one kit.
If your ram was not in one kit, you may have a mismatched set.

I suggest trying only a single stick to test.
Your motherboard manual should say which slot should be used with only one stick.
If it will boot, run memtest86+ to test the ram.

If both sticks work individually, try adding + 0.05 to the DRAM voltage

The other one won't work. Is it mean the other one is defect?

If one doesn't work prob want to RMA or return the stick
