    Supermicro X10DAX and Quad Channel

    So my dilemma is that I can't seem to get my board to run in Quad Channel. I have an X10DAX with Dual E5 2690 v3's and originally it had four 16GB sticks of Samsung ECC. Figuring I needed to have a stick for each DIMM1 slot I purchased four more identical sticks of Samsung M393A2G40DB0-CPB. So, now I have eight 16GB sticks for a total of 128GB of RAM. When I install the ram so that Each DIMM1 slots is populated the system will not post even if I clear the CMOS, remove the battery, what-have-you. But according to what I'm reading in the Manual, which is admittedly not very clear, populating each DIMM1 slot in the setup I have should yield Quad Channel. But again, it won't post this way so I am just running A1, A2, C1, C2, E1, E2, and G1, G2, which only produces Dual Channel. Makes sense because this is essentially Dual Channel per CPU. But I don't understand why the system won't post with each DIMM1 slot populated instead. These are 2R sticks, and each channel allows for 8R. Do I need to populate every RAM slot in the system to achieve Quad Channel?

    Thanks in advance for your help guys. The X10DAX manual and RAM configuration PDF provided by Supermicro just does not spell this scenario out for me.

    Okay, it turns out I was in Quad Channel the entire time, but HWiNFO64 was not recognizing this fact, while CPU-Z does.

      Advice needed-Technika 32-207 works but sticks on channel,won’t change channels ok
      by rustinjust
      My tv will work for a while and change channels with the remote as it should but then it will stick on one channel only and work ok but it won't change channels. I have tried unplugging it for hours and whilst unplugged pressing the power button on the tv to reset it.

      The volume button on the remote still works but it just won't change channels once it decides to stick on one channel

      It has built in basic freeview tv here in the uk, I've tried doing an automatic search to reset the tv but nothing works.

      I have to turn the tv off and then on again with...

      Reverse engineering of 18650 4-channel tester
      by spleenharvester
      Hi friends

      I have reverse engineered this tester, schematic is attached and is complete except for capacitor values. These testers annoyingly have no model number but they are the ones you find on the first page of just about any website if you type in "18650 4-channel tester". There is also a 2-channel variant and a newer 8-channel variant. They are very cheap (about £15) and can measure voltage, current, internal resistance and capacity. They have a multicolour display for all these statistics. They also have terminal blocks so that if you want to use a breakout board...

      American Audio VLP1500 Distorting on one channel
      by dicky96
      Hi guys I have a VLP1500 amplifier here - one channels works fine and the other channel distorts even at low volume settings

      Protection and Clip LED are off

      There is something wrong with the BIAS voltages around T16 and T18 (in particular) on the bad channel

      I tested all diodes and transistors in this area in circuit with diode mode - both channels seem identical. Same in resistance mode across all the resistors here.

      The output DC voltages on pin1 and pin8 of the 5532D dual op amp at the input of each amplifier module are the same, and the audio...
