Do you have them installed in different channels on your motherboard?
Usually on motherboards with 4 slots it will be the following (from left to right on your board) : SLOT 1 - Channel A SLOT 2 - Channel B SLOT 3 - Channel A SLOT 4 - Channel B So make sure you have the 2 modules installed in Slots 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 to enable dual-channel mode. |

Heli wroteNo, like Adam said, DDR stands for Double Data Rate, meaning each module has 2 dataticks per clock cycle. programs like CPU-Z will only show the singular clock frequency.Adam wrote DDR = double data rate. Looks ace to me Therefore 1600MHz = 3200MHz. |
