Hi, I have tried to upgrade my RAM from 4gb to 6gb
Right now, I'm running Elpida 2x2gb ram, single mode.
Can't get it to work with dual channel /:

And now I tried to use 2x1gb Kingston ram
Both the elpida ram and kingston are 1333 mhz.
But I can't get it to run in dual channel mode /:

Can someone please help me here.

I'm using IPISB-CH2 motherboard.

The mobo can take up to 1333, however, you really need matched sticks, pre-built rigs seldom ever have a BIOS that isn't locked, so you can't make the adjustments to voltages and timings that are often required when mixing different models of DRAM
It doesn't say "you can use all sorts of ram" It says 1333 or 1600 or ....

And it will give you a list of approved memory if you look.


As I said "You have to only use identical ram modules. You need to buy 2 x 4gb" else its highly likely that you'll get problems
