Hello,

I am new to Gaming and OC pc, so maybe this question will sound stupid but I would like to know how can I check if my system is running three channels memory versus dual channels.
The reason why is because I've recently bought a system and I would like to check if it comes with the right specifications.
Do ram modules have a special serial number to distinguish if they are dual or three channel memories?

Thanks

The BIOS could tell you too, in advance options in the memory section (think). In conclusion, the BIOS also tell you if are three channel or dual dual.

Thanks,

I heard about this software but do you know if there is any particular code on the banks which should tell us it directly.
Or a particular voice in the bios?

Thanks,

I will look into that. I ultimately think that all depends on the manufactured mainboard if the bios presents that feature (I am afraid that mainstream consumer mobo don't have this feature, but I will double check)

Also is cpu-z helpful for other porpoises on your system (OC, GPU....)? Like I said I am a newbie on this field :)

Yes, CPU-Z show you all system CPU and RAM, independent if this is overcloked or not. For the GPU you can use GPU-Z, is the same CPU-Z but for the graphic card.
