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.

You have to only use identical ram modules. You need to buy 2 x 4gb

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

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
