2022 updated video on installing RAM and making it run in dual-channel mode: th-cam.com/video/yC9YYnDhqog/w-d-xo.html
update dirt in cpu cooler ;/
The only game that's telling me I need to use it is suicide squad
I have 2 sticks x 8gb if later I put another one single stick 16gb do I lose something?
4 minutes and explained everything clearly and didnt clickbate, this is what we call back in my day "quality content".
Ok boomer
@@ab-ho8xo simply gay my friend
@@novaalibi saying that only means that he is right
Agreed, glad I didn't have to skip an intro
👌
So would a 2 stick only mother board on dual channel mode work the same as a 4 stick mother board in dual channel mode?
Correct, both will run in dual-channel mode
Wonderful video 🌹🌹
My laptop has 8 GB RAM, is there a problem if I add 16 GB to make the total 24 GB
or i should add 8 GB only, for the dual channel💔
I work on (adobe), not games
Hi I have 2x8gb xpg d50 for many months and right now I was added 2x8gb xpg d60 if I use just 2 slot it work but if 4 slot it doesn't boot.
If your motherboard is 100% compatible with ALL of your RAM, it sounds like either at least one of the RAM modules or slots are faulty or just dirty and have to be cleaned.
This is the video I was looking for, this man not only grabbed the actual confusion, but also demolished it..
Thanks man.. Subbed..
I like your humor. I could listen to your “tutorials” no matter how long the video is.
Can I install different kinds of RAM together? Will I get dual-channel speed if I only have two RAM slots? Do I need to install any drivers or do anything in the BIOS before/after installing RAM? These questions can all be answered in my new RAM FAQ video right here: th-cam.com/video/PY2uEQEl_3o/w-d-xo.html
does it matter what order they go in ?
@@joshguad600 No, but it does matter where the consecutive modules are in addition to the first one you install (for example, you can have them both in slots A1 and B1 OR A2 and B2, but NOT A1 and A2 or A1 and B2, etc.)
@@Torqcx okay thank you so much man i appreciate your help !
@@Torqcx what if i 6 dimm slots? whats the ram placement for that?
@@treci-dieci9303 start with three modules, and if you want more RAM, fill all six of them up. Check your manual to be sure
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for making that GPU installation video, it was easy to understand, and it helped me install my very first GPU! (I went from a DDR4 GT 1030, to a GTX 1050 Ti, 4GB, GDDR5.)
Dang A GT 1030 DDR4... I had a DDR5 GT 730.
Just a bit of correction, most modern CPU and motherboards support flex mode which means that even if you have 3 sticks of RAM, 2 of them will run in dual channel while the leftover stick will run single channel
Didn't know that, thanks! That bit of info is going right in the RAM FAQ vid coming up! :)
I already have 8gb two ram running in dual if i install 2 more 8gb then what happen
well assuming you have 4 ram slots, then the two ram slots are already used so then with the two extra 8gb ram sticks the empty ram slots you just slot the new ram into and it'll run in dual channel regardless as all dual channel mode slots are filled so it doesn't have an option to use single channel
So If I have 2 x 8gb and 2 x 16gb will they all run in dual channel mode?
Yes
How to dual like this video? First for the info, second for the voice.
In gaming can be up to 30% more performance depending whether your pc is low/high end. Your statement is not true mate. Proved wrong by 21 tests ive done
Dude your video is insane. Clear and concise, it's perfect.
Thanks for this guide. Is very helpful. My 4th ram slot was broken and i was didn't know that i can make it dual with 1-3 ram slots as well :) Thank you very much.
Me too
Exactly what I was looking for and your voice has me sexually confused. Appreciate the non-bs explanation. Subbed.
how about i have only 2 ram slot and it runs in single channel mode. how i going to enable it to dual channel mode?
Short, simple, straigt to the Point. I like that. But Dual Channel is superior in APUs. You get 15-20 % more FPS in Games like with the Ryzen 5 3400G.
Wtf thank bro i been looking for this answer tq
in my experience. Dual channel mode in gaming has a bigger difference than single channel mode when i was using single channel games like to stutter a lot for me and when i switch to dual channel my gameplay tend to be smoother no stutter
Just upgrade to 16 ddr4... Damn smooth af...
So how would you run in dual channel if you only have two slots on a ddr3 mini itx that supports dual channel i got the memory for it but i cant edit the ram in bios is says single channel
That is odd. It SHOULD be running dual-channel mode with just two slots. You may have to look that up further, sorry I couldn't be of help this time.
i loled! Good presentation though . *thumbs up*
Bro I have 2 slots only so should I buy 2 ram of 4 + 4 pleaase will it work dual channel or at single
It depends on your motherboard; I would suspect, even with just two slots, it should run in dual-channel. What do you mean by "2 RAM of 4+4"? Regardless, I would get 2 modules either way.
@@TorqcxI mean I want to buy 8 gb ram but if I want it to run at dual channel I have to put half of it at other slots 1 and 2 I guess will it work
@@ominoeditz6530 Correct, if you want dual-channel, split it into two modules.
@@Torqcx but I have only 2 slots will it work at dual channel I watched your and as well as other videos too but they had 4 slots and the put 1 ram stick at first slot and 2 ram stick at 3 slot but I have only 2 will it I don't want to waste my money because 😅
@@ominoeditz6530 2 RAM sticks in 4 slots should run in dual-channel mode. :)
In college, this will break into 2 weeks course . First week for A1 and A2 , second week for B1 and B2 on how ram run .
You get less fps in The witcher 3 with Dual channel than Single channel😂 that was a fun fact
Dual-Channel improves 1% Lows, and that means less worse frame drops
Hey, great video! I have one question, I have 2x16g single rank and 2x16 dual rank crucial ram and am installing on a dual channel cpu. Will have have any issues using dual and single rank ram together? Would it be best to put them each on their own channel or split them up so there is one of each on each channel? Cheers
It's always best to get the same exact model for all of the slots, but in your case, I would pair each one of those up with themselves (the dual-rank modules in one channel and the single-rank modules in the other)
ok so i have 2 slots in my msi b450 motherboard and i have already installed a 8gb ram and now i want to install a 16gb ram will this work in dual channel mode as they both have different size however the ram i am buying have everything same just different ram size and also i have a amd Ryzen processor
i actually don't think this will work (don't know for sure) but the thing is try to always go for 8 or 16 or 32 or 64 gb of ram like for example right know you have an 6 of ram if you have 8x1 then just buy another ram with 8gb so you will have 16 in dual chanel mode or if you have it in 4x2 then just get another 4x2 to full upp all ram slots. If you want even more ram then 16 gb just go for matching sticks but with more ram cappacity like 8x4 for total of 32gb or 16x2
i have only 2 slots with red color.. and supports 64gb.. im using 32x2.. but my pc detecting only 1 slot only.. how to fix this?
Try swapping the modules around and trying them each individually in every slot.
even it is restarting, i found that 1 of the ram is not working.. now im running the pc on 1 ram of 1x32gb, even the pc is restarting while playing any game. what may be the issue? thank you@@Torqcx
@@ShekharMine Try enabling XMP mode in the BIOS if you're still having problems.
@@Torqcx did this just now, my monitor showing "no signal found" but cpu is running
Next step is to reset the CMOS, I don't have a video on this yet but there's plenty out there you can view. Basically you take the coin battery out of your motherboard for a few seconds and insert it back in (sometimes there's a jumper you need to do the same thing to). Now the board will be reset to default (this won't adjust any of your programs or files on your drives). Continue to try and debug the RAM (insert each module individually into each slot to rule out if there's any issues with either). Also blow out the slots if you haven't yet.
The beautiful woman holding the ☕mug made my day.
Mine is all black?
New PC user here. Quick question. After running a RAM diagnostic, it noticed I had them slotted in a1 and b1, and said that those slots were “not optimized,” and that I should instead slot them in A2 and B2. Is there really a difference? I’m not sure what that even means…
All motherboards are different, but "not optimized" could mean many different things. I'd run a program like Speccy to see if they're operating in dual-channel mode, and see what the diagnostic says after inserting both modules into those other slots.
whenewer I put a ram stick in the b slots, it won't boot. no I have to put them in A1, A2
Check your manual, but also each individual module in each individual slot. Either one of the slots or RAM modules could be faulty.
Yeah I installed it dual channel on accident, it was just easier to have them spaced out
"sub-sequint-ly" haha. thanks for the vid!
If only everyone made explainer videos like this!
It's clear, concise and to the point, without q needlessly long intro or sponsorship segment (in a short video) 👍
It's also the best explanation I've come across yet.
Subbed!
So Basically Fusion HA! :D
I install my ddr3 4 slots but it always bluescreen and when I put 2 slots again it normally again. Am I making mistake with my ram?
Check each individual RAM module in each individual slot. It could be some bad modules or it could be bad slots in the motherboard. If you deduce that any of the slots are bad, unfortunately there's not much you can do to fix that except for replacing the motherboard.
You have a good voice good tone and clarity
I like, very informative, Undyne, and funky music. I subscribe :)
Amazing! Can't believe clickbaity channels that suck have millions of subscribers, while you have 6K.. Thankfully I found this through google so this means the algorithm does have you in mind. Keep going buddy you'll get to millions no problem. Thank you for the great video, explained everything exactly the way I needed it. Cheers
2x 4gb ram stiks with 1x8gb ram ..how to plug.....asrock z87eream board ? pleas
1:30 I think you just helped me solve my problem I've been having since I upgraded to 4 sticks. Maybe someone can verify this for me though. So at most I've been able to get my pc to recognize 3 of the 4 sticks. In conversation with someone a while back they said it may be that I was installing them in the wrong order. After seeing this part of the video I looked at my motherboard and it has a bracket pointing to two of the slots on that diagram that's labeled "first". So I took all the ram out and installed them again passing the first two sticks in those slots. It's slots DIMMA2 and DIMMB2. And now as I'm writing this I think it may still be wrong. Should I do DIMMA2, DIMMB2, DIMMA1, DIMMB1 or DIMMA2, DIMMA1, DIMMB2, DIMMB1?
I'm waiting on my new graphics card to show up so I can't just boot it up to check. Maybe someone here knows though.
guess I'll buy two 8gb ram then.
bye bye two 4gb ram that I don't know what should I do with them lol
You can either sell them or use them as backups
if you have 4 slots you could buy only 8gb and use config 4-4-8-0 (8gb in each bank)
Yooooo, I had 3 sticks running in single channel all the years, and now you enlighted me :O Thank you!
Unless you stick bigger, well.. sticks, in the dual channel mode slots instead of your 3 sticks. 3 is still better. Bar some cases mentioned in the video.
@Shedovv No it's not
Actually it gives a lot more performance boost with certain games. lets take battlefield 2042 I am currently on rtx 3060ti ryzen 7 3700x and when running on single channel 16 gigs ram I was getting around 40 fps on high settings with dual channel 32 gigs ram im getting 90 fps on high so its around like 40%-50% fps boost on a few games
it might be your motherboard cuz for example in dual channel my mother board supports 2666Mhz per DIMM but if it is single DIMM it supports 3200Mhz
My computer was build by a "reputable" store. And 4 years later i realize the damn rams are running in single channel mode... Sigh...
If you want to make sure, download CPU-Z and check the Memory section.
For my board it's A2 and B2 for dual channel (when two RAM sticks only are used).
will adding a 2x16 gb of ram make a difference in gaming? And adding a 2 tb NVMe make the system run gaming better?
The more RAM the better, but only to a point; if you have low RAM (around 4GB) an upgrade will probably help your FPS. Otherwise, the CPU and GPU I'd prioritize upgrading.
You are talking and answering on your questions before we ask you, Thanks for this vid
Nice simple to understand 👍
My mobo has labelled it as "ddr-4, ddr-3, ddr-2, ddr-1"
are you sure it isn't "ddr-4, ddr-2, ddr-3, ddr-1"? Cause mine doesn't have "a" or "b". Mine looks like yours. But, at a first glance. It looks like the numbers are in order, but if you look closely they are not. Instead of 4-3-2-1, it may actually say 4-2-3-1.
@@whist214 oh I just noticed that now. LOL Thank you. I checked the manual anyways and confirmed there is a dual channel mode.
@@iancondestables8851 I'm very glad I could help :) I also learned that when you install your ram, whether or not in the right order, you have to go to your BIOS settings and change a setting to get all the mhz you paid for. For example, my ddr4 ram says 3000mhz. But, I was only getting 2120ish mhz out of them. I'll link you a great video and maybe it will help you more.
@@iancondestables8851 Check out this video on how to get the most out of your ram. th-cam.com/video/WDzrq5IxBX4/w-d-xo.html
@@whist214 Thanks dude! I'm able to set my ram to 3000mhz
6 years later after first time building my pc, this would have been nice to know back then especially owning ryzen cpu what highly benefits from dual channel. I've been using A1 A2 this all time.
Okay so what if I have 2x4 GB put them in the right slots (A1, B1) and they still run in single channel according to CPU-Z?
Pondering on whether to buy 1x8GB ram because I have 2 more slots left and another 2x4GB is too expensive for me since I just want this as a backup system.
Try different programs first to see if it's accurate, consult your motherboard's manual and then maybe just try different configurations.
oh wow, i had mine in a single channel lol
My motherboard is capable of dual channel but still wont default to it, even with all 4 slots occupied. Why? Why wont it go to dual channel? Msi b650p pro wifi motherboard
7700x cpu
Tforce vulcan alpha 16 gb x4 ddr5 ram.
fill two slots, either B1/B2 orA1/A2 saved ya four minutes, consult your motherboard manufacturers handbook... you are welcome
what happen if you install 16 (4x4gb) ddr 3 1333 and the system only shows you got 8GB (2x4 gb) ram? booting screen shows the PC spec and show it has 8gb, and after stsytem start up i checked the taskmanager also show 8gb ram. dont know how to fix it. 4 rams is totally work with A1B1 or A1B2.
Bullsht. Dual channel ram skyrocketed my fps in gaming. From 90-100fps to 160-170fps in battlefield.
Dont mind me just....
STICKING MY 4 STICKS OF RAM IN THERE.
Bro i had 8 ram already so i installed another 8 gb on another slot but its showing only 12 gb installed my mother board maximum capacity is 32 gb plz helpppppppp
Help me please. Ive been using my computer for 3 yrs with 2 rams. Now i have another 2 rams but if i put all of them it's not working. My 4 rams are 2 hyperx and 2 avexir with same 3200mhz. Can you please help me how to fix this. Tia
Yo thanks my dude 🔥👍🏽
OMBanana I didn’t know this I just got curious with my new cpu and mother board on B560 and I already put them A1,A2 and I checked to be sure since I always done it like this but was thinking when reading the manual and NOW I know I have been doing it wrong I instantly replaced them A1,B1
Extended helpful video. Thanl you. Also damn your voice 😂 so freaking soothing
Really really helpful video. Thanks.
hello I want to ask I have a motherboard asrock fatal1ty 990 FX killer and I want to buy a ram memory kit what memory works on my motherboard I have a kit already from g Skill Trident ddr3 on 1600 mhz do I go? !!! thanks
If the motherboard has 4 slots and it says a dual channel motherboard and you fill all the slots with 8gb ram of same brand and same frequency then will you get 32gb ram ( 8+8+8+8) or just 16gb ram (8+8)?? . And if just 16gb then why 4 slots are there??
With each slot occupied with 8GB modules you will get 32GB of Dual-Channel RAM.
U forgot to talk about using IDENTICAL ram stick pairs for the dual channel.
lmao, i think intuitively, everyone puts ram in slots 1/2 or 3/4, i would never had known to put it on 1/3 2/4...
Awesome work! Good job!
hey guys please i need help i bought a pc with 2 slots one is only 16gb ram and the other is empty
can i add 4gb ram to other one to make it dual channel? please
i dont have money for another 16gb ram to make it dual channel
so can i get 4gb of ram and add it to the other stick to make dual channel? i need an answer guys
why put an ape 2:39 in your videos? Can't you make a simple tutorial under 5 minutes without the urge to push aliens in our faces?
at 0:43 you say to install in a1 and b1, but most motherboards reccomend using a2 and b2 for permonace..
What if you have 4 sticks though? Thank you. Never mind.
What if i do 2x dual Channel ram
2x 8GB with 3600MHz
and
2x 8GB with 2400MHz
Will it work?
It might, but it might not. There's no harm in trying, but it's always recommended to get the same exact make and model of RAM when installing multiple modules.
What if a have a 2 slot motherboard
Same
Im so sad cuz i have 2 8gb corsair ram but one of my dimms is broken so i cant put it in dual chanel :(
Straightforward, fast, and short explanation to the point. A true professional. Thank you sensei!
my friend on 16 gigs single channel got a 200 fps boost in fortnite as he switched to 2x8
Should be termed of slots as D1 and D2, S1 and S2, ( D for Dual, S for Single)
They should've changed it to 1A, 1B and 2A, 2B a long time ago.
My A1 slot can’t be use become heatsink and B2 slot is broken……
thanks man i understand better now! keep it up!
this shouldn't make me laugh but it does, sometimes i forget that people fail to be able to read a manual xD
i searched for this since my uncle told me that if you want to run dual channel you need to reformat the pc after installing
I have 2 slots but mother board is compatibile with dual channel mode how do I insert it
My MSI mobo only has two RAM slots, why is it showing as dual channel on CPU-Z?
My ram is in the right slots and the pc is still running in single channel, it allows me to edit it in hwinfo but idk if that will work and i also don't know how to do it, it detects to slots but is only using one, i think thats what it said. Im new to pc's sorry lol can someone help?
One point, with 3 sticks, 2 will run in dual channel and the third wheel will run single channel.
it is true that you will get not much fps increase but oh boy, does it stutter...!? trust me it does.
How to run your Ram in Quad channel mode !!!
Fill in all 4 slots!!
I got a question.
I got 2 stick 8GB x 2
Both on 2nd and 3rd Slot *1st and 4th slot empty*
Yet my CPU-Z showing Dual channel. Am i doing something wrong or is it actually dual channel ?
It's possible that's just how your motherboard is configured to run its memory modules. Try running another program to double check it is you want to be thorough.
How about 2 Ram stick mother board?
Do you mean a motherboard with only two RAM slots? If so, just filling both of them should make the system run in dual-channel mode.
@@Torqcx thanks ❤️👍🔥
What about the motherboard which only have two ram slots????
How do I get dual channel if I only have 2 ram slots in the PC ?
diden't work i only got 2 sluts in my motherboard
Thanks for the information for a person who is learning how this works before building a pc for first time.
I have a single channel one installed can I buy the same si,gle channel model to have dual channel ?
Best and simple explanation I have seen! thank you for this. I had watched 3 other videos before yours and still didn't have my answers. Thank you so much!
So i just found out my dual channel isnt working
