To ensure system stability for Dual channel mode, memory modules must be of the

same type, number and density.

when overclocking due to the memory frequency operates dependent on its Serial

Presence Detect (SPD). Go to BIOS and find the DRAM Frequency to set the memory

frequency if you want to operate the memory at the marked or at a higher frequency.
