RAM

[ASKARY]

A friend of mine wants to be build a new pc and I suggested Ryzen, he chose to get the Ryzen 7 2700x but after searching he wants to know if he can use the 4 DIMMs?

Yes, he can. But that would not increase performances in a meaningful way. It's still dual channel memory on mainstream Ryzen CPUs.

Some ryzen systems have issues with multiple DIMMS right?

He's more on the aesthetic side..

Depends.  There’s a whole lot of information missing.  There are lots of kinds and sizes of dimms.  As a rule ryzen needs non ecc ddr4 dimms of the correct pin count (there are two of these) Generally the fastest the cpu and motherboard can handle are preferred.  A given am4 motherboard (which is needed for ryzen) will generally accept either 2 or 4 dimms though some will accept more.  

 

i need to know what the stats of these particular 4 dimms are before I can even venture an opinion.
