Does the TC-885-UR19 support dual channel memory?

Amazon Confirmed Fit claims that the Corsair Dominator Platinum will fit in a TC-885 despite Corsair labeling it specifically as dual/quad channel memory.

If not, Amazon Confirmed Fit also claims Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666mhz will also fit. It is not only cheaper than Crucial memory but seems to have slightly better specs as well.

    Can you please link me to the source of that information? I cannot find a dual channel support claim anywhere. Everywhere has always stated single channel if anything at all.

    Also, contradicting everything I read, is Crucial Memory Finder guaranteeing that a single 3200 MHZ chip will work with the TC-885-UR19. This is disturbing since Crucial is the consumer arm of Micron who makes the chip that comes with computer.

    This information was taken directly from the service manual of the exact model you reported.
    The manual is not available to end users.

    Thank you for answering the information source question.

    Can you explain why Acer's memory parts partner (Micron) for this specific model is guaranteeing memory from its retail arm (Crucial) to work that is considerably out of that specification range? 3200 mhz is substantially higher than 2666 mhz.

    It isn't just a 16 GB memory stick Crucial is doing this with. They also are guaranteeing 8 GB and 4 GB sticks as well. Up to six different new PC4-25600 3200 mhz options to choose from.

    The Crucial verification application depends on several factors and I do not see how 100% reliable.
    Some users have already reported that the information provided by them was not correct in some cases.

    What is the processor of your model?

    I-8400. Like every UR19 has.

    Comes with 16GB Optane as well. I don't know how M2 slots and PCI lanes affect memory channels.
