Hello;
My specs are as follows:
MOBO /// Asus SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0
MEM /// Corsair Dominator, 16GB Dual/Quad Channel DDR3 (4x4Gb) (CMP16GX3M4X1600C7)
CPU /// AMD FX 8350 4.0/4.2Ghz
Here they state: http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/processors/desktop/fx (UNDER FEATURES TAB)
"Supports up to DDR3-1866"
Then in these columns they say: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/ddr3memoryfrequencyguide.aspx
--> halfway the page, in the column you can derive my memory will run at 1333Mhz when using 4 memory sticks in DUAL RANK MEMORY mode, and it'll run at 1600Mhz when using 4 sticks in SINGLE RANK MEMORY mode.
Can someone elaborate for me? My memory is designed to run at 1600Mhz. Right now it's running at 1333Mhz, if I crank it in BIOS my computer simply crashes when going into windows.
DUAL RANK? SINGLE RANK?... Does this mean dual channel? single channel? if so what's my best option here.
I do 3D Visual Design and I need memory speed, but at what cost? What's the difference between single/dual rank? How do I enable single ranking?
regards
