Is it possible for RAM in slot #2 and #3 to run in dual channel?
According to CPU-Z, they are.
I see countless questions asking why 2 sticks of RAM in ideal circumstances (same coloured/paired slots ie #2 and #4 or #1 and #3) NOT running in dual channel but never the other way around.
My board is a MSI Z77MA-G45 and the manual says running RAM in dual channel requires installation in paired slots (#2 and #4 or #1 and #3) or all 4 slots.
FYI my #4 slot just stopped working and my #1 slot is blocked by my CPU cooler so I am stuck running on #2 and #3.
