New build for a family member.
CPU - Ryzen 3 2200g
Mobo - ASRock AB350m-HDV
bios v 4.4
Ram - Patriot 8GB kit - Listed on ASRock website as compatible.
PVE48G240C5KRD

I'm trying to figure out if the Ram is running in Single channel or Dual channel mode
When I'm in the Bios it says single channel


When I check CPU-Z it says Dual channel

Everything is on stock settings.  Just want to make sure its in Dual channel.  Is there a way to test this?  

When I was searching I seen others with similar problem but windows only reported half there actual memory amount.  Windows is reporting the correct amount for me.  I ran memtest86  for 11 hours and it found no errors and I ran prime 95 for 9 hours with no errors.

Thanks

if the op has dual channel actually working and the bios is still reporting single channel it definately a bug Smile

please bear in mind he has a different board and different bios and that may well have a false report in bios

myself i would try reseating the ram just to make sure its not the usual single channel issue

" rel="nofollow - Thanks for the replies.  If its just a bug I can live with that.  I just want to make sure its actually in dual channel.  I have reseated the ram (twice) and I reseated the cpu since I read a bent pin could be the culprit.  No bent pins found, everything looked good.

Is there a certain benchmark I can run to make sure its running in dual channel?

run aida64, in tools menu there is cache and mem benchmark, run it and save it (there is save button), upload it to lets say http://Imgur.com" rel="nofollow - Imgur then post link here
