Hello. I have 4 sticks of Ballistix Elite 4gb RAM (total of 16gb) and a 970 MSI Gaming motherboard.
Originally, i had a Gigabyte 990 with 2 sticks of Ballistix RAM (8gb total). I constantly had 4gb reserved, about 1.5 cached, and could only use really about 2.5 gigs.
So i bought a new mobo, two new ram sticks (the same type, just another new pair), and a new graphics card (EVGA 1060) hoping an upgrade would fix it. However, i currently have 8.1gb reserved, about 1.5gb cached, and 6.5gb available. I checked with CPU-Z and it is only in single channel. So i think if it gets into dual, all of it will be available.
It isnt a compatibility issue because it detects it and knows it there's.
I'm running at a 1600mhz frequency.
How can i enable dual channel and gain access to that 8.1gb reserved?
