What is DCT Unganged mode?
Ganged mode means that there is a single 128bit wide dual-channel DRAM Controller (DCT) enabled. Unganged mode enables two 64bit wide DRAM Controllers (DCT0 and DCT1).
What is Unganged memory?
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 does power down mode do?

What is XFR in AMD?
In AMD CPUs XFR, or eXtended Frequency Range, is an automated overclocking feature in AMD’s Zen CPU architecture first introduced on AMD’s Ryzen CPUs. For AMD Zen based CPUs that have XFR enabled, XFR will boost clock frequencies above the advertised turbo frequency based on the capabilities of the CPU cooler.
What does ” unganged mode ” on AMD mean?
From what I can tell ‘Unganged mode’ means each core is given 1 stick of RAM to use. It is amd’s version of Nvidia’s Locked vs unlocked architecture. basically allowing you to use your ram in dual channel vs single channel. Ganged = dual channel mode for ram. All cores get access to 100% of the ram. unganged = single channel.
Do you need to set memory to unganged mode?
With AMD motherboards, you should set the memory to unganged mode for a tiny performance improvement unless you’re running a webserver. Thank you Jim for this very informative article, an enjoyable read.
Why is my memory running at 1333 MHz?
By default my pc memory is running at 1333 Mhz since 3 years ago, if i want the memory to run at 1600 that would be overclocking despite the mobo says it supports 1600 without OC? Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P8Z68-V PRO GEN3
Which is better ganged mode or unganged mode?
In Ganged mode, each memory subsystem is treated as a single 128-bit dual-channel bus, whereas Unganged treats each memory subsystem as two independent 64-bit dual-channel buses. In most cases. Unganged offers better bandwidth and performance.
