should cpuz say dual channel?
got both sticks in the blue slots, and nothing
still just says ddr3 8192 mb
and it seems to be underclocked as well, set to auto
yeah it's the corsair xms3 kit
it's saying 1600mhz in the bios, but still 1333mhz(667) in windows
any ideas?
If you're using CPU-Z make sure you look at the memory tab and not the SPD tab.
The memory tab will tell you the actual speed which should be 800MHz for 1600MHz RAM (Double Data Rate).
