i5 12600KF support quad channel?

[Luiz123]

Hello team,

As the title says, the i5 12600KF support quad channel?

I could see this in the documentation.

It just mentioned dual channel only

Please note: the motherboard is B760 Gaming Plus WIFI

As stated in the documentation the B760/12600KF combination is dual channel only. So 4 x DIMM slots = 2 X dual channels.

let me try to understand sir,

It means the motherboard + processor will perform a 2x Dual channel = to 1x quad channel?

first 2 slots (2x8GB) = Dual channel 1

second 2 slots (2x8GB) = Dual channel 2

Is this the logic?

This is a slightly modified graphic from the manual for your motherboard

So a single DIMM goes in slot DIMMA2 and gives single channel RAM.

Two DIMMs go in slots DIMMA2 and DIMMB2 to give dual channel. 

Four DIMMs go in all the slots but works as 2 x dual channel - DIMMA1/DIMMB1 and DIMMA2/DIMMB2.

Two dual channels is just that, not a quad channel.

Using four DIMMs will affect the maximum RAM speed - refer to the manual for details.

ok, quad channel is not in here!

I got your point.

In that case there are spec comnbination/hardware to get Quad channel?

I'm a bit confused with that now!

Quad channel is supported by some workstation hardware and if quad channel memory is vital to you that would be an area to research.

I see, vital maybe not I just want to build a desktop for gaming with family, maybe quad channel "can" be ignore for this I presume, right?

Yes, quad channel hardware is substantially more expensive than dual channel and if you want to build a desktop for gaming dual channel will be absolutely fine.

Good to go.

Thank you sir!
