Is my Asgard Bragi II DDR5 6000 running in single channel?
During fast scene transitions, I was getting random 12-frame drops that felt incredibly jarring. I ran a hardware check and realized that while the RAM was detected, it was running in single-channel mode, cutting my bandwidth in half and creating a massive bottleneck in the rendering pipeline. I tried messing with processor scheduling in Windows, but that was a complete waste of time. I shut everything down, reseated the sticks into slots 2 and 4, and manually enabled Dual Channel in the BIOS. My read speeds jumped from 32GB/s to 58GB/s, and frame times stabilized from 18-32ms to 11-16ms. I actually had a boot failure after the first reseat until I cleaned the gold contacts with an eraser to remove oxidation. CPU stayed at 62-68℃ and VRMs at 54-60℃. Benchmarks confirm full bandwidth is now active, with RAM temps at 54-59℃.
