Dual Channel Memory Configuration
The GA-K8N51GMF-9 supports the Dual Channel Technology. When the Dual Channel Technology is
activated, the bandwidth of memory bus will be double the original one.
Due to CPU limitation, if you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please follow the guidelines
below for Dual Channel memory configuration.
1. Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one DDR memory module is installed.
2. To enable Dual Channel mode with 2 memory modules (it is recommended to use memory
modules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed), you must install them into DIMM sockets
of the same color.
3. To enable Dual Channel mode with 4 memory modules, it is recommended to use memory
modules of identical brand, size, chips, and speed.
The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table:
(DS: Double Side, SS: Single Side, --:Empty)
2 memory modules
4 memory modules
DDR 1 DDR 2 DDR 3 DDR 4
DS/SS DS/SS - - - -
- - - - DS/SS DS/SS
DS/SS DS/SS DS/SS DS/SS
All of the memory configurations below will cause system unable to boot.

If two memory modules are to be used to achieve Dual Channel mode, we recommend
installing them in DDR1 and DDR2 DIMM sockets.
1 memory module
2 memory modules
3 memory modules
DDR 1 DDR 2 DDR 3 DDR 4
