RAM 2 v 4

[poppasilk]

I'm running ryzen 5950x looking to upgrade memory. I've watched gamers nexus 2 v 4 sticks but wondering if i get 2 dual rank sticks will i get the same outcomes as if I ran 4 single rank sticks? Thanks for the help.

as long as you can make sure they are 2R

4 sticks is harder to stabalize. Some motherboards struggle with the 4 sticks.
For example. Based on my own experience, if you have 4x8gb dimms that are rated at 3200mhz xmp. They don't run stable at 3200mhz because there are 4 of them. Instead you have to set them to 3000mhz to stabalize them. Where as if i use 2x16gb dimms (which im doing now), they will reach 3200mhz easily enough. Does that make any sense to you?
