What is DCT Unganged mode?
Unganged mode enables two 64bit wide DRAM Controllers (DCT0 and DCT1). The recommended setting in most cases is the Unganged memory mode. Ganged mode may allow slightly higher Memory performance tuning and performs well in single-threaded benchmarks.
What does ddr3 Unganged mode mean?
Unganged has been the default for a while now and it simply means that the system does 2 discrete 64-bit memory operations at once, instead of a single 128-bit memory operation in ganged mode.
What is ganged and Unganged memory?
1. 3. Long story short, ganged treats the memory subsystem as a single 128-bit bus, while unganged treats the memory subsystem as dual independent 64-bit buses.
What is DC mode RAM?
“Dual Channel Mode” is a feature that was created to reduce the potential performance bottleneck that exists between the CPU and the Memory Controller. These memory banks are usually colour coded on the motherboard, with each memory slot of the same colour code making up the ‘channel’.
What ganged mode?
Ganged = dual channel mode for ram. All cores get access to 100% of the ram. unganged = single channel. Each core gets access to a stick of ram. In theory, the unganged mode is better as each core will get access to data quicker.
Should memory be ganged or Unganged?
Ganged mode operates the 2 internal memory controllers as one unit, 1x 128bit, slightly greater preformance for single threaded software. Unganged utilizes the two controllers independently, 2x 64bit, slightly better for multithreaded software.
What does Unganged mode mean?
unganged is 2×64 bit dual channel. Ganged mode is often the default BIOS setting and is considered to be better for single-threaded applications, while unganged can provide better performance in multi-threaded applications.
What is DDR power down mode?
Power Down Enable is a power saving feature that powers doen the ram slots to a lower voltage when the computer is not in use. It causes lots of compatibility problems, that’s why it is disabled by default. It has no effect on performance. You should leave it disabled.
