Usually you need to install memory in matching capacities in order for it to run in dual channel mode.

 

If the cpuz, speccy, hwinfo64  utilities are reporting the memory is running in dual channel mode, then I would go with what they report.

Hi:

 

The memory will work at 12 GB, but not in dual channel mode.

 

In order for the memory to run in dual channel mode, you need to install matching memory capacities in each slot (2 x 4 GB, 2 x 8 GB).
