NF7 Dual Channel Setup - What slots?

jlush · Jul 16, 2003

Hey

Just a little quckie here,

I've got 2 x 256 pc 3200 here and I wanna configure it with dual channel. I can't seem to find in the manual which dimm slots I need to put them in to run DC.

Please let me know what slots I need to have my ram in to run the Dual Channel.

Thanks

the two closest together... but what i've been curious about is if there is anything in the BIOS to turn on to make it dual channel.. or if it does it on its own.. wasn't sure about that one

k cool,

yeah i dunno, I looked at all the settings and there isnt anything that says "duan channel--------------enabled/disabled"

so I dunno,

but thanks anyway

Slots 3 and 2 or 3 and 1 will give you dc, but from what I've read 2 and 3 gives the highest memory scores. Right after your board boots up it will say dual channel if you've got the ram in the right slots. I just got mine running today and I love it.

yeah you don't need to change anything int the BIOS if you have 2 DIMMs in any of those combos it will automatically goto dual channel.

Yeah, I had a pcmark2002 memory score of 5596 with "single channel" and then I fixed my dual channel (put the sticks in the right spot) and with dual channel enabled, I got a pcmark2002 score of 5843.

So, it really does make a difference when you have the dual channel enabled!

(my mobo is nf7 and my ram is crucial pc3200 2 x 256mb)

What are your memory timings and settings jlush?

jlush · Jul 18, 2003

My settings are 7-3-3-2.5

With 2.8V Dram voltage.
CPU core 1.65V
Chipset 1.6V

I hear that you want your chipset voltage at 1.7 if your running duel channel.
