Move that 2nd ram stick into the 3rd port for running the memory in dual-channel. It will increase your rams throughput/more bandwidth for each.

You are incorrect. :shadedshu
This board runs dual channel in slots 1 and 2, or 3 and 4, or 1, 2, 3 and 4. So he has it right!

And welcome to the 690 club, nice rig! :rockout:

EiSFX · Sep 15, 2008

Ya according to the color coding (like that on most boards) he has it right should be running dual channel right as it is

Skywalker12345 · Sep 15, 2008

yea i looked in the mobo manual and it said slot 1 and 2 are dual and 3 and 4 are dual
