I love the humor mixed with the voice and the fact that it is straight to the point. New sub earned!
Thank you! I watched a couple videos and their hands were in the way the whole time and didn’t explain well where it was since I couldn’t see anything thanks to their hands. Very detailed and quick to the point!
I really don't need any of this videos, as I'm skilled with building PCs, but the way you express yourself and teach people how to do things is great and really helpful
If you dont need it why are you watching
@@chishimbachilekwa4191 bragging his "building pc skills"" weird flex but ok bud lol
Completely understand but this video is mainly for those who need help and advice on how to do certain things.
You're skilled at building SENTRY GUNS also
How on earth this video got under 1k view(shaking my head) this video is so much helpful thanks for the guide now i can install my ram stressless
Thank you very helpful
Yo bro, you rock! Thank u
You’re the man! Seems easy enough to try myself. Thanks for keeping it simple for idiots like me 😂
Great video
the only thing i was worried about is if it requires anymore additional steps but its really simple as i've seen it so im not that worried now to put more ram in to my pc
I have 2x8GB of Rams Kingston HyperX Fury (1800 MHZ) and 2x4GB of SK Hynix (1600 mhz) on the motherboard DQ77MK-R01 (Intel).
It has 4 Slots 2 Black and 2 Blue. What should be my pairing Scheme of Rams which Rams should be put on for Dual Channel Mode with Higher Frequency and GBs.
Looking for answer ..??
Thanks.
That's all well and good, but where do you download RAM from??
so clear....
production quality vs the original is insane hahaha what a glow up
I find your content lightly comical, you've gained my subscription. I do, however, have a question. I consider myself *somewhat* PC Tech Savvy and I'm currently running 2 4GB RAM sticks, and a single 8GB ram stick (with both 4GB RAM sticks in the A1 and A2 slots and the 8GB RAM stick in the B1 slot). I am upgrading in two days when my next 8GB stick arrives. When I slot these in, should I have them alternate in sizes? Like putting the 8GB RAM stick in A1, then a 4GB one in A2, then 8 in B1, and 4 once again in B2? Thanks in advance.
It's appreciated, and yes, I'd put the matching capacity modules in the slots they'd match in if you were to run them in dual-channel together.
Love your voice
DDR infinity is something I need
nice but still missing part, when you have f.e. two 4+4GB modules and buying one 8GB (same speed), or having 8+8GB and buying just one 16GB... so you can run Dual-Channel also with 3 slots ... f.e. 4 - 4 - 8 (A1 - A2 - B1), cause amount in A bank is the same as in B bank (8GB each)
Hey brother, I have four DDR4-3200 8×2 Ram sticks. I used it for almost 2 years but now I am getting problems while running all the sticks together ( Problem- Pc doesn't display anything). Checked all the 4 Ram by dual channeling (A2-B2) They work perfectly. (Never overclocked) (XMP disabled) . I don't get it what's the issue please help ☹️
Do you use a GPU? If so, ensure that it's cables are securely connected. I panicked when building my first PC, because it wouldn't post. As it turns out, loose PCIe cables was the issue. In fact, ensure that your Motherboard and CPU cables are connected properly as well, of PCIe wasn't the issue.
If I'm currently using 1 x 8 GB 2400Mhz and if I install 2 x 16 GB 3200Mhz (arriving today), will I need to change any settings or do any steps for it to recognize Dual channel or will it automatically know ?
What did u find out ? I'm doing same thing
I have a prime B650M-A WIFI II should I use the first slot closest to cpu for first ram stick or skip to second and 4th slot ?
From searching up that motherboard model's manual on Google and flipping to the page about the system memory, it says slot A2 is where it should be installed.

@@Torqcx thanks it’s weird tho my pc wont turn on unless I use the last 2 slots farthest away from the cpu not sure if my motherboard is faulty or not since it only power on in single channel
If my motherboards memory type is dual channel DDR4, is it able to work in single channel as well? Or do I need to buy new RAM
That depends entirely on the motherboard you have; most of the time, the answer is (or was) "no", you need an even number of RAM (2, 4, 6, 8 etc.) in order for the system to run in multi-channel mode, otherwise the entire thing will revert to single-channel. That being said, you can check your motherboard's specs, as more modern ones are beginning to run in both modes
@Torqcx its a gigabyte z690 and it says it’s memory type is dual channel ddr4
Ur the best
i have a question. lets say i have 8 gb of ram runing dual chanel mode using only 2 slots on 4 slot motherboard 4+4. then after a while i want to upgrade adding another 4+4 ram with different brand will it run dual chanel or single chanel? or will it even run
If the specs are *exactly* the same, they "should" run normally alongside the other initial pair of modules in the system. But without going with the same exact make and model, there is no way to be sure unless you try it for yourself, as far as my knowledge goes.
Your voice is like from Let's game it out channel
i got a black screen when i install the ram in dual channel mode
Hi, if I own a custom made computer, how do I detect which amounts of RAM I can use without damaging the computer or system? Thank you
The big thing is to know what your motherboard is, that should tell you everything you need to know about how many slots it has, what type it takes and what speeds it support. An easy way to find this out is to download and run the free program Speccy.
@@Torqcx I'm going to collect it tomorrow or later I think so I will be informed about everything tomorrow or so. do you have recommendations on where to buy ram in the future? Should you buy them off amazon or go to PC world or other PC related shops which sell parts for computers? I don't know if it helps but I live in the UK. I'm starting off with 8GB RAM for now which might be pretty small but once I will have some income I might see if my computer will work with 32. The family I work for has a custom one they made with some alien logo (triangle-ish shape Computer) with about 12 terabytes so I was wondering if I would be able to reach similar effect over time period
@@Ghoul_Hunter where you get the RAM I don't think matters much, it's more about who makes it (what the brand is). Corsair and G.Skill are good, reputable brands to start with but there's plenty more out there. It's hard for a company to mess up RAM though, either it will work or it won't. Just read into its specs and make sure it's compatible with your motherboard and you should be all set.
What if you want to run 2x8gb and 2x16gb? Both 3600 same speed
You may have luck with that, you'll have to test it. Regardless, it's always recommended to get the exact same make and model when you have multiple RAM modules because there isn't really a way to know until you test it.
My pc has downgraded the speed to 2133 mhz. I had two different rams in dual channel tho.
One is 8gb @ 2666
Second is 8gb @2400
Dont know why speed gets lowered to 2133 instead of lowest ram speed which is 2400
It may be that your motherboard doesn't support 2400MHz so it downgraded the overall speed to whatever it supported next (which was 2133MHz). That's only my presumption without looking at your specs, though. Assuming that you were getting 2400MHz prior to installing the second module, it's possible the board doesn't support the speed with multiple kinds simultaneously installed (again it's always recommended to get the exact same kind of make and model when you have multiple modules)
@@Torqcx yes I was getting 2400 mhz prior to adding 2666. 2133 is the minimum speed board supports but not the minimum speed of any of those rams. So yeah seems like board is downgrading ram speeds as well..
Edit : Seems like the 2400 mhz ram has native 2400 mhz speed (without enabling any xmp profile and also this ram does not have any xmp profile)
The 2666 ram has native speed of 2133 mhz (without enabling xmp) but this ram has xmp profile when enabled it boosts up to 2666 mhz
Thing is, the motherboard cannot enable xmp profile on just one single ram module that supports it. If i remove the 2400 mhz ram the option to enable xmp and get more speeds shows up. But if I put up both, option to enable xmp disappears and both rams run at 2133. Interesting really
4:21 Or it will give a loud beep or continue restart to it self
Yeah this is the part I'm worried about when I install my new 2x16 later today... I had issues earlier this week with only 1 of the 2 8GB DIMMS being recognized, and I still can't tell if its a MOBO issue or I had a faulty DIMM.... but I had a few hours of Beeps and Restarts and BSOD until I was able to fix it T_T;
my motherboard is also gigabyte and my ram is the same as yours except its white and 2x8 i have 2x8 ram installed and bought another the same 2x8. How do i know its max ram? i do not know what kind of gigabyte motherboard i have . im on win11
You will have to look up your motherboard's model's specs to find that out
okay so there's this problem with me
my motherboard has only 2 RAM slots,
and i have 2 sticks of 8 GB RAM
will it run in dual-channel mode?
If it was made in the last decade or so then yes, it should run in dual-channel mode with both of the slots occupied :)
Hi, i have a branded dell PC with only 2 slots with 1 occupied with 8gb of ram!
I was thinking about upgrading to 16gb ..which is better? buying another 8gb or a single 16gb?
And also is it ok using different brands!? ..or do i have to stick to the same one that came with my PC?
Best to use the exact same make and model when installing multiple modules. If adding a 16GB next to the 8GB would work well, then that is what I would recommend. However, not knowing the specs of any of the components, and on top of that not knowing whether the modules would communicate well or not, I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate prediction.
The fail safe would be to just get another 8GB and make sure it's the exact same model that you already have. Another option would be to just get 2x 16GB modules and replace the current 8GB one you have.
@@Torqcx Thanks for the quick and detailed response! 😀
I thought it would be as easy as grabbing another 8gb 3200hz over the internet ..i already identified 1 from Corsair! 😅 ..mine is from Micron Technology!
Here's the memory configurations supported by my pc if that's of any help:
4 GB, 1 x 4 GB, DDR4, 3200 MHz
8 GB, 1 x 8 GB, DDR4, 3200 MHz
8 GB, 2 x 4 GB, dual-channel DDR4, 3200 MHz
16 GB, 1 x 16 GB, DDR4, 3200 MHz
16 GB, 2 x 8 GB, dual-channel DDR4, 3200 MHz
32 GB, 1 x 32 GB, DDR4, 3200 MHz
32 GB, 2 x 16 GB, dual-channel DDR4, 3200 MHz
64 GB, 2 x 32 GB, dual-channel DDR4, 3200 MHz
@@iam_nobody from those specifications, it sounds like you should go with two of the same make and model, regardless of the capacity you choose.
@@Torqcx Thanks for your help! 🙂
So i got some "fake rams" for filling up all the slots, with rgb, but for some reason they dont pop up on icue, and they don't even light up, tried to reinstall icue, take sticks out of slots and put them back in. no idea why they are not working, my 'real rams' are lighting up and registers, but not the new ones, any ideas ? :(
Unfortunately I've never dealt with fake RAM modules, but I'd imagine you'd have to make sure they're compatible with your motherboard. But again, I've never used those.
@@Torqcx Ohh well, had to ask :D
Thanks for replying tho' :D
Bro..i installed my rams in A1 and B1...is my pc running in dual channel?
A1 and B1 or A2 and B2 generally will have the system run in dual-channel, but every motherboard is different. You'll have to check your manual and/or a program like Speccy (free and easy to install) to make sure!
What if I have 2 slots does that make them run dual channel ?
On modern motherboards, yes!
@@Torqcx appreciate you my g
what if i hv 2x8gb and 2x16gb ram ? and all of them are 3200hz
In most modern motherboards that shouldn't be problem, you can always try!
Well just change my ram and I canot no longer log in since my computer only crash and no, the new ram has the samedi 3200 mhz as the previous one, and both are 16 gb like the olds ondes were.
Start by clearing your motherboard's CMOS, then installing the original RAM that worked. Go from there
You sound like the robot from the gun runners on fallout new Vegas 😭😂
what should i do if there’s no click when i put my ram sticks in? i’m confused lol
the latch also does not fully close
@@unsigned_long_long Make sure it's oriented in the correct direction and there's no debris in the way of the slot and the module. Is it the same result for every single slot? If so, there's probably nothing wrong with any of it, just push them in to the point where the latches can close onto the modules in time (even if they don't do it automatically, if you can manually latch them in they should be fine). Worst case scenario the computer will just not boot.
@@Torqcx thanks a lot i figured it out i just wasn’t pushing hard enough into the slot. was scared i was gonna break it lol
Can I put a graphic card in any desktop?
In 2022, yes, but you need a sufficient power supply for it
I installed all 4 and it won't display but when I put only 2 it shows display
When the display doesn't show, it means the system is failing to boot. Try each individual RAM module in each slot, one at a time, and see if you can rule out any of the slots or modules causing the issue. Then go from there.
@@Torqcx ok will do thanks
You sound exactly like eobroadcast lol, is that you cruside
Radio quality voice
If I only have two slots it shouldn’t matter the order I put them in I guess??
If there's only two slots it's going to run in single-channel anyway so as far as I know, no, it shouldn't matter
@@Torqcx oh okay
what's that microphone
I use a Blue Yeti Pro for voice overs
Nope. A1 and A2 is one channel and B1 and B2 is secend (As 1:26 picture show). You shoud keep same amout ram in bouth of channels. No matter which one, it coud be A1 and B2, CPU-Z WILL raport proper DUAL CHANNEL configuration. You coud also make 4+4 in A1 and A2 and 8 in B1/B2 and it still going to be dual, sinc amout in bouth channels is equal.
Hello, I have a laptop with 8 gb of ram and 1 slot available. should i buy 8gb or 16gb of ram?
also, will it run in dual channel mode if i install an 8gb ram clocked at 3.2ghz ? im confused since when i search up my laptop model it says that my laptop ram runs at 3200mhz but when i open the taskmanager, it says 2667mhz (idk why it says 2667 instead of 2666 lol). thats why im confused whether to get 2666mhz ram or 3200ram.
@@reyarjaylosurigao1257 I would just get another 8GB module as it's always recommended to get the exact same make and model when installing multiple RAM cards. The other option would to be get two 16GB modules and replace the single 8GB card you have, assuming your laptop can be upgraded to a 32GB capacity.
In the BIOS, there may be a setting in there throttling the RAM's speed (it may be able to run *UP* to 3200MHz, but, by default, be clocked at a slower, "safer" speed).
As for the 2667MHz fiasco, yeah I noticed that too, I think it's just because the actual speed (2666.666...) rounds *up* to 2667, and it's easier to just display it that way, so that's what they do, lmao
