Memory Advice + Help

I just acquired a barely used 1900x + Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7. I will be doing a lot of Lightroom + Photoshop editing and Premier + After Effects video timelapse stuff from RAW photo timelapses. I will also be doing some gaming and streaming when I get free time for the rest of the winter. I've read that Single Rank Memory is best for Threadripper, but is that true for all Threadripper's or just the high core count CPU's?

 

Will populating all 8 DIMMs negatively effect gaming performance, if so can I go into BIOS and turn off some RAM? I was thinking of finding the fastest 8 x 8 configuration that I can.

 

I was looking at this Memory Kit, sadly I can't find out from simple searches if its Single or Dual rank sticks....

F4-3200C14Q-32GTZRX

 

Price wise I was hoping for under $600.00 USD, but if its particularly good I could go for something under $800.00 USD.

 

~thanks for any help!!

 

oh yeah... I'm fine with just XMP settings and also not afraid to try and do some overclocking... Hopefully Buildzoid has a video on this...

I hope you got it really cheap, like no more than $400 and more like $350. It can only take Zen and Zen+ parts which cant compare to Zen 2 in memory performance nor single core performance. Single core is a large portion of what software you named really care, and almost all realtime performance.

But more sticks is worse than more ranks. More dual rank sticks is better when a single single rank stick per channel doesnt give enough capacity
