Hey everyone! I've got a motherboard with 4 RAM slots: A1, A2, B1, and B2. The recommended setup for dual stick configuration is to use A2 and B2, but unfortunately, B2 isn't functioning properly. I'm wondering if there's a way to reconfigure my RAM to use A1 and B1 instead or if I'm out of luck here. Thanks for any help!

Definitely try using A1 and B1 like the previous commenter mentioned. If you want to double-check that your memory is still in dual channel mode, there's a video that can guide you through it. Damaged slots can be a pain, but people manage to work around them all the time. Here’s the link to that video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NkLb3UNYrX4
You can totally just switch your RAM to A1 and B1. Your motherboard should automatically pick them up and retain dual channel support. Just remember, it's best to avoid using A1 and A2 together for optimal performance.
And even if you use A1 and A2, it won't be a disaster. It'll just run a bit slower.
Honestly, if it keeps acting up, you might need a new motherboard. It’s not what you want to hear, but it could be a solution in the long run.
Was really hoping it wouldn’t come to that. Thank you for your quick response!
Is there a way I can monitor it and make sure I’m still getting dual channel support?
