Q. about RAM settings in BIOS Old Sat Mar 26, 2011 6:44:24 AM #151576 Perm Link
OK I understand most of the Mobo manual but one thing has me tripped up and confused. I know I will be using 2[ 8GB (2 x 4GB)] sets of DDR3 and that I need to keep the matched pairs in slot 1 and 3 then 2 and 4 for dual channel. The manual has a setting for DRAM configuration> DCTs Mode that says it allows for memory control mode;

"DCTs Mode
Allows you to set memory control mode.
Ganged Sets memory control mode to single dual-channel.
Unganged Sets memory control mode to two single-channel. (Default)"

I do not know which to set to for dual channel with all 4 dimm slots occupied and working as dual channel. I think it would be the first one but I am not clear with this terminology.

Weird terminology. Most boards will handle this automatically. I would suspect it would be the first option.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Thx; I agree it is weird terminology. I was thinking the first option too because it uses the term "dual Channel". I guess I'll try it and double check that it reads all 16GB of RAM.
