If the motherboard supports quad channel, that's better.

 

Most desktop motherboards are only dual channel. 

 

X58 would be an example of quad channel (8 Dimm slots)

Does your system support quad channel? Most don't

 

Normally run the most channels supported is the best for performance.

first off yes I can. 2nd of all just wondering.

Well quad channel is literally 2x the speed but if you're asking 4x8GB or 2x16GB that probably isn't quad channel, that's single ranked vs dual ranked, but since you'd be running 2 DIMMs per channel vs 1 DIMM per channel both would be dual ranked anyways. What's the CPU

Yours faithfully

You sure about that quadchannel support? You said you have a am4 system currently, and no am4 systems support quad channel ram.

X58 was triple channel dude, it has 6 DIMMs, X79, X99 and X299 are examples of quad channel

Quad channel only exists on HEDT. LGA1200 and AM4 are Dual-Channel platforms.

Main: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti, 16 GB 4400 MHz DDR4 Fedora 38 x86_64

Secondary: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Fedora 38 x86_64

Server: AMD Athlon PRO 3125GE, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 ECC, TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5.1

Home Laptop: Intel Core i5-L16G7, 8 GB 4267 MHz LPDDR4x, Windows 11 Home 22H2 x86_64

Work Laptop: Intel Core i7-10510U, NVIDIA Quadro P520, 8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x86_64

You get 4 DIMM slots by using 2 DIMMs per channel. This is why 2 DIMM's and 4 DIMM's are very very close in performance on the aforementioned platforms.

price wise, the cheaper is better if quantity matters

 

if you're looking specifically for single rank vs dual, you'd have to check the models. There are a lot of dual rank 16GB dimms so functionally it might be identical no matter what, but another factor is whether or not your config can actually handle 4 dimms on 3600MHz cause that's demanding on the memory controller and the motherboard traces would have to be nice and thick

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Id go 2x16 as performance is simmilar, and then you can easily upgrade later on.

On actual topic. B450 Aorus Elite is dual-channel mobo. This is said in its specs. Ryzen doesn't have support for quad channel memory.

4x8gb 3200mhz memory.

Look for this memory kit.
