  1. Thank you! I understand it's not the most elegant way to do it, but we will try and see how it works out.
  2. Thank you so much! This is helpful, we will try that configuration out. The manual definitely include info about the channels (we've read through that before).
  3. Thanks for the info and suggestion! We might just try and see what happen.
  4. We would like to do that too, but adding another 2 x 16GB is a "simpler" solution, since we don't have to deal with reselling things or what not. Cost is one of the reasons too, because we have to pay from our own funding; the school will not pay for this...
  5. Yeah, we are concerned about that too. If we end up doing it, we are thinking at least getting RAMs with same latency and speed. Do you have any experience with that?
  6. Hi everyone, I am a master student doing computational chemistry. Our lab recently built a workstation with the follwoing specs: CPU: 3950x Mobo: ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE RAM: G.SKILL F4-3600C16D-16GVKC (2x8G) Boot NVMe: Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe 4.0 GPU: ASUS 2080ti Turbo (Also various HDD for data storage) OS: Ubuntu 19.10 We are currently running a lot (millions) of small jobs and trying to take advantage of the large number of cores/threads on the 3950x, but we found that if we run more than 5 jobs at the same time, we will run out of RAM. Although we have swap spaces on the PCIe 4.0 drive, we still want to process our data as fast as possible. We plan to put more RAM on the machine, but we don't want to limit ourselves to 32GB by simply adding another 2x8G (since that will still not allow us to fully utilize all 16c/32t), therefore we are wondering if adding 2x16G would work well. If so, is there a specific kit that we should get? TLDR: We have 16GB of RAM now, we want to add another 32GB to the machine, is this a good ideal? Thanks in advance!
