Windows 10: RAM questions

It appears I need to shutdown and take the 8GB out. CPU-Z reports them as Single in the "Ranks". This would disable my dual channel if I am not mistaken.

 

Yes, some motherboard will do this.
There isn't any way I know of to correct this.
That's still odd, that you would get dual for one set of RAM?

 

Gonna shut her down and take out the 8GB. Marking as solved. Thank you for your help. *Thumbs

 

Yes, unfortunately this is correct.
You can thank your motherboard manufacture for that.

 

I did not notice before I added the RAM what CPU-Z said in the DRAM Frequency. It is showing 562.6 Mhz but my ram is 1600Mhz. Is something wrong in my BIOS possibly or am I misreading/misunderstanding this?

 

It could be that the RAM you have installed, has some sort of memory profile. Which would need to be turned on in the BIOS.
In Task Manager, under Memory. It should display the RAM speed.

 

It shows it as 1066. I believe it would show 800 for 1600 RAM but I do have a slight overclock on my FSB for the CPU from 3.6 to 3.903 which would explain the 800->1066 I guess?

 

That looks about right to me.

Anyway 2 x 562.6= 1125.2

 

Thank you once again! I will let it be as it is. I don't feel like tinkering in the BIOS any more. Everything is running smooth and fast (for me) right now.
