I have a Kingston HyperX Fury 8gb (2x4) 1600Mhz and when I opened CPU-Z It said that it was running in Single Channel. Shouldn't it be Dual Channel since it's a 2x4 Gb RAM? Did i do something wrong and is Single Channel slower or is it the same as Dual Channel?

what board do you have.................. and in reality no. not going to matter.
the board determines if it runs in single channel or dual channel.
there is no single channel ram or dual channel ram.......... just ram.

there will be minor differences. but if you can get it to run in dual channel the cpu will better utilize it.........
A2 and B2 for dual channel............. 2nd and 4th sockets from cpu.

Should be able to run in 2-4 or in 1-3 from CPU, dual channel can provide up to a 10-15% performance increase over single channel mode

"Up to 10-15%', all depends on the combo and strength of the individual sticks and MC, i.e. few AMDs will even show 10% due to an inherently weak MC across the board in their CPUs
