A68M-ITX - activate dual channel mode

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello everybody,

I recently build a pc for my dad with the following components:

Mainboard: Asrock A68M-ITX

APU: A10-7860K

RAM: 2x4Gb DDR3 2400 Ares (http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-2400c11d-8gab)

I now have some problems with the RAM. The board and the RAM have XMP 
and so I activated it and switched to 2400 mode. Win10 memory 
diagnostics was fine but prime95 and AMD overdrive showed errors. Today I
 switched to DDR2133 mode and it seems to run fine (DDR2133 is fine with
 me). But no matter what XMP mode I activate, the RAM is always in 
single channel mode (says the bios). Is this because my RAM is not on 
the compatible memory list? The list seems pretty outdated and no memory
 on that list is available. Is there a setting I could try to activate 
dual channel mode? Or do I have to find compatible RAM and if so how do I
 do it? The BIOS version is 1.0 and that is the latest. 

Greetings

Epi
