Is there advantages using 4 ddr4 4gb ram sticks over using 2 ddr4 8gb ram sticks

[Ockari]

Both are same clockspeed and same price. So i wanna know which would be better

[Epimetheus]

No, there's no advantages, and it would just put more work on the memory controller i guess

2x8gb allows you to add another 2x8 to get 32gb total.

Using just 2 has the advantage that you can add more later, and in theory it would use less power but that's pretty insignificant.  I'm not aware of how this would impact performance.  I don't believe it should.

4 stick's ONLY advantage is that it looks better. Otherwise it's all equal or more often, disadvantages

I'm sure we had near enough the same question asked recently. In short, there IS a performance difference assuming timings and clock are same, due to rank/DPC. More can be better, in some applications, and it can be major. having said that, most applications are not bandwidth bound much if at all so wont show much difference.
