Need a little clarification Regarding RAM

Avik_b123 · May 17, 2015

I recently bought Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3. This motherboard has Dual channel memory architecture. But i also have bought 2 Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) which has Quad Channel Memory Configuration. Will this be a problem? I mean I have put those two in same color coded slots. Should I replace this with Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M1A1866C10) which has Dual Channel Memory Architecture? Please Help...!!!!!!

with the ram if there all 4g ram sticks or 8g ram stick your fine. quad kits were 4 sticks of match ram for the older x59 and x79 mb. mb that had more then 4 ram slots (2 ram banks).

Difference between Quad kit and dual channel kit is only numbers of ram sticks

But I see you kits have different Mhz but plug anyway in worst case scenario they will not work , but you not risk any damage of rams or mobo.

No no, I have bought 2 Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) which has Quad Channel Memory Configuration. I was just wandering if there going to be a problem with this, then should I I replace this with the other dual channel ram or not.

Plug in to mobo and start using your PC

You can use it is safe

Dual channel are this same ass quad channel rams only difference is how mobo using them

For example on mobo with dual channel support you using 4x rams and they work in dual channel mode, in mobo with quad channel support 4x rams will work in quad channel mode

RAM doesn't have channels, the number of channels used depends on how many sticks you have plugged in. If you have a quad-channel system and plug in only two RAM sticks it will run in dual channel, add two more and it'll run in quad channel, and if you plug four RAM sticks into a dual channel board... it'll still run in dual channel.

The DRAM doesn't care - each stick is a single 64 bit device, on a dual channel mobo, if two sticks are used or 4 sticks it all runs as dual channel and each stick operates at 128bit instead of the 64 bit to improve efficiency
