If that's confusing I'll try to explain with more complicated interstate highway anecdote. You could still have unganged single channel or dual channel, and ganged single channel or dual channel. Unganged is said to be more efficient but no one really ever tested this thoroughly to see if any applications would be better served in ganged instead. Ganged let's traffic use all of the lanes in one direction at a time. Unganged is like a normal divided highway with two directions. Versions apply the same timings automatically for both DCTs in an Unganged mode. Higher Memory performance tuning and performs well in single-threaded benchmarks.ĭepending on the motherboard and BIOS, it may be required manually setting the timing parameters for eachĭCT (in Unganged mode) when performance tuning the memory or fine tuning the timings.
The recommended setting in most cases is the Unganged memory mode. Unganged mode enables two 64bit wide DRAM Controllers (DCT0 and DCT1). If (b) you have to buy 2 x 4GB to make 8GB and throw away 2 x 2GB sticks. If (a) you only need to buy 1 more 4GB stick to make 8GB. Currently it can be (a) 4GB x 1 or (b) 2 GB x 2 (most likely). Ganged mode means that there is a single 128bit wide dual-channel DRAM Controller (DCT)Įnabled. CPU-Z should show you (sorry I can't see the images) how many slots are being used. Ganged vs Unganged: that actually doesn't have to do with single or dual channel. Great article, Tradesman! I give it Two thumbs up and two big toes up too!
