I haven't built a computer in 10 years and getting back into it.
I just bought a GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard that advertises DDR3 2200MHZ ram speed.
I went and bought 6X 2gb corsair Dominator GT sticks rated at 2000mhz.
When I booted up the ram speed was showing at 1080mhz.
I called gigabyte and the tech said it was because I used both channels it had to split the speed!!!!
I switched to just 3 sticks and it was still 1080mhz
Switch to just one stick and got the same 1080mhz.
Any ideas? Anyone willing to tell me what's wrong with me?
