Please Help RAM question for TRX40

[TBE]

Hey there guys,

I have a question about RAM configuration on a threadripper system.

my system is:

 

gigabyte trx40 designare motherboard

3960x cpu

Trident Z RGB DDR4-3866MHz CL18-19-19-39 1.35V 32GB (4x8GB)

 

i have the ram clocked down to 3666mhz to match the overclocked infinity fabric (1833mhz).

 

So....i need more ram for the work i do (Autodesk Maya)...large scenes and so on.

My 2 options as far as i know, i can buy another 4 dimms as the motherboard has 8 slots.

Or sell the 4x8gb that i have, and buy 4x16gb.

I want to keep maximum performance as i game quite a lot in my free time, and ram speed / infinity fabric speed affects FPS in games.

Would there be any difference in performance 8x8 vs 4x16?

Is there anything else i should consider?

 

Thanks a lot

no difference, though 8x8 could see more difficult to run at higher speeds. further upgrade in capacity will also be more costly.
