Or is it doesn't support dual channel?

>>> But didn,t change to dual channel automatically.

 

No it won't. From the image I can see two RAM slots are NOT the same

 

(a) Different capacity (4GB and 8GB)

(b) Different speed   (2400MHz and 2132MHz).

 

To be able to get FULL benefit of dual channel mode you need both slots have SAME RAM (same capacity, same speed and few other factors)

 

New RAM is automatically be downgraded to 2132MHz to MATCH the existing RAM.

 

Regards.
