slot 4 is physically damaged, i only can put ram into the first 3 slots 🙏

Generally, dual channel (slots 1 and 3) will have a slight performance boost over single channel(1 stick or sticks in 2 and 3.

You can run flex mode if you have all three sticks of ram and just need the capacity, but compatibility can get a bit weird.

Did you do something to slot 4? It's possible a CPU reseat would fix your issues. Or a simple can of compressed air if there is a buildup of dust or something.

So normally I would run 2x8gb kit dual channel on slots 2 and 4. Slot 4 nolonger works. Is it better to have a 1x16gb in slot 2 or better to use 2x8gb in slots 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 or 2 and 3. 

run in 1 and 3

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.
