Just got an email from the techs... would have removed all the confusion if they'd left it in.. :




Thank you for the update. Dual/Single channel is indeed not reported in BIOS anymore. As far as I know it has been removed from the latest AGESA version.

I will ask my colleagues in Taiwan if they can bring it back in a future BIOS version, or ask AMD to integrate it in a future AGESA version (if it is really AGESA related). Thanks!]]> Mon, 04 May 2020 19:26:01 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=75067&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#75067 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=75050&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#75050 Author: Rooster

Looks like it working properly then... they must have removed the option from the bios - which is what caused the confusion.
Thanks to all who replied... far better support than from ASRock (who never seemed to grasp the issue)

Thanks again, stay safe guys. ]]> Sun, 03 May 2020 23:41:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=75050&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#75050 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=75042&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#75042 Author: kschendel

It's hardwired. If you are using A2/B2, and you have 2 8GB sticks, and it's reporting 16GB memory total, you are necessarily running dual channel. There's no other possibility. The A slots are wired to the A channel and the B slots are wired to the B channel.

so are we saying that it IS in dual channel mode ?

I was relying on the bios screen (v2. 9) reporting that, unless they have changed it ! ]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2020 23:59:14 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=74914&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#74914 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=74889&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#74889 Author: Synapse

If you put the sticks into proper slots (staggered), and have the full capacity available, it runs in dual channel, that's just how the slots are wired, there's no software toggle.]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2020 07:15:48 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=74889&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#74889 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=74885&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#74885 Author: Rooster

Thanks for the swift reply... reseated the ram, swapped them over, even tried the other 2 slots and it's exactly the same :-(
bios screen sees each module, and reports the full 16gb - as does Windows.

Downloaded cpuz and it reports dual channel! so now I'm well confused.. is it really running dual channel or not?

Running bios 2.9 as supplied - all the pictures ive seen actually say dual under the ram on the main page, so I'm lost here.

Any more ideas please ? ]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2020 02:21:56 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=74885&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#74885 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=74884&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#74884 Author: datonyb

Hi, Just built a pc... asrock b450m steel legend motherboard, but my 2 memory modules don't run as dual channel.
Paperwork says to use A2 and B2 slots... which I have.

Ram is:
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT BLS2K8G4D32AESBK 3200 MHz, DDR4

Any Ideas please ? ]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2020 00:11:48 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14240&PID=74882&title=cant-set-dual-channel-memory#74882
