I have an intel i7 6850k
on intel's website they say that the CPU will support ...
4 Channels DDR4 2400; one DIMM per Channel
I currently have a quad channel 4x8Gb G.Skill 3200 (PC4 25600), which should be supported. (still waiting on parts to finish and OpCheck the system)
however in the future I plan on upgrading to a 8x8Gb RAM set up, however I'm not sure whether or not the CPU will actually make use of all of it or not?
SO, can someone please enlighten me on what intel means by, "4 Channels DDR4 2400; one DIMM per Channel". does that mean they only support 4 sticks of memory at a time and the rest is just sitting in its socket to look pretty? Also can someone explain what the DIMM per channel means too? I get the 2400, and the CL, as well as what quad channel is and DDR4 vs 3 or 2 etc but am not finding to much in the way of RAM explanations that explain what I'm asking.
Thanks for the help guys!
