AX4C-MAX RAM placement

[jlanka]

I couldn't figure it out from the manual. To enable dual channel, I'm wondering what the correct placement is. They've got 4 DIMM slots. 2 pairs of black and blue.

i.e.

<pre><font color=blue>DIMM1 </font color=blue>DIMM2 <font color=blue>DIMM3</font color=blue> DIMM4
</pre><p>I guessed that each blue/black pair is a seperate memory controller so I put one in each blue. Just wondering if thats correct.

Thanks.

Gee, I thought the blue ones were channel 1 and the black channel 2, so that you needed one blue and one black for dual channel? Isn't your BIOS supposed to tell you when Dual Channel mode is enabled? You could always benchmark it...

not sure if the BIOS will tell me, I didn't get the CPU yet. I'll check it out when I get the CPU and report back here.

Well, it turns out each blue/black pair is a seperate MC. So if you want to enable dual-channel you have to put one in each blue or one in each black. If it's help to anyone.
