HWinfo is a good way to get that data and in my experience tends to be more accurate than some of the other utilities available. Monitoring temperatures, core speeds, voltages, clock ratios and other reported sensor data can often help to pick out an issue right off the bat. Run HWinfo and look at system voltages and other sensor readings. *How to post images in Tom's hardware forums That may not be the case in YOUR thread, but if it is then the information at the following link will show you how to do that: In these cases, posting an image of the HWinfo sensors or something else can be extremely helpful. In cases where it is relevant and you are seeking help, then in order to help you, it's often necessary to SEE what's going on, in the event one of us can pick something out that seems out of place, or other indicators that just can't be communicated via a text only post. Take a screenshot of the memory section and post screenshots here. Lastly, I see you have a new AMD rig.Download HWinfo. If that's confusing I'll try to explain with more complicated interstate highway anecdote. You could still have unganged single channel or dual channel, and ganged single channel or dual channel. Unganged is said to be more efficient but no one really ever tested this thoroughly to see if any applications would be better served in ganged instead. Ganged let's traffic use all of the lanes in one direction at a time.

Unganged is like a normal divided highway with two directions.

Versions apply the same timings automatically for both DCTs in an Unganged mode. Higher Memory performance tuning and performs well in single-threaded benchmarks.ĭepending on the motherboard and BIOS, it may be required manually setting the timing parameters for eachĭCT (in Unganged mode) when performance tuning the memory or fine tuning the timings. The recommended setting in most cases is the Unganged memory mode. Unganged mode enables two 64bit wide DRAM Controllers (DCT0 and DCT1). Ganged mode means that there is a single 128bit wide dual-channel DRAM Controller (DCT)Įnabled. Ganged vs Unganged: that actually doesn't have to do with single or dual channel. Great article, Tradesman! I give it Two thumbs up and two big toes up too!
