Two channels available with various stick counts yet identical capacity.
Two channels available with various stick counts yet identical capacity.
It runs in flex mode because both channels have the same capacity, making them function like a unified multi-rank stick. From the memory controller's viewpoint, each channel acts as a single large stick, even if they occupy different slots. This behavior helps simplify data handling and improves performance. The referenced document explains the underlying principles of computer memory, which might help clarify the concept.
It's not true; the first channel holds 16GB while the second has 48GB.
I believed most motherboards assign slot 1 and 2 to channel A, while slots 3 and 4 go to channel B, which is why they’re labeled A1, A2, B1 and B2. What if we used two 16GB sticks in one channel and a single 32GB stick in the other?
