1R indicates one RAM module, meaning you have a single memory stick installed.

I apologize for the dumb question, I have not build a computer in 6 years. And sorry if this is more suited for a different area of the site. What does the following mean? Supports 1R 2933/ 2666/ 2133 MHz 1DPC 1R Max speed up to 4800+ MHz 1DPC 2R Max speed up to 4266+ MHz 2DPC 1R Max speed up to 4400+ MHz 2DPC 2R Max speed up to 4000+ MHz Specifically the 1R, 2R and DPC? I am looking at building a new computer. I would like to get the i9-10900k, but I will stick with the i7-10700k for now as its actually in stock. Here are the components. Seasonic FOCUS PX-750, 750W 80+ Platinum Full-Modular 2 of CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) MSI MPG Z490 GAMING CARBON WIFI LGA 1200 Intel Z490 Intel Core i7-10700K I am not that concerned with overclocking, but the option will be nice if I want to a year from now. That motherboard looked nice for the IO and 2x M.2 as I might utilize both with the 970 Evo Plus. I will be getting the Noctua NH-D15 from Amazon along with the two 970 Evo Plus drives. Does this system look good? Total between Newegg and Amazon will be $1,600. I already have an AMD 5700XT and I will get the new GPUs when they come out soon.
Single rank, dual rank and DIMM count per channel are the details you should verify. Watch this video for a deeper dive into memory, especially DDR4. For your setup, 2x16GB equates to one dual channel 2R module, which is the recommended configuration. If you're considering two separate 2x16GB units, that's two dual channels 2R. What are your intended uses for the system? I’d likely need to choose a different motherboard and possibly another power supply, depending on the components you’ve selected so far.
Single and dual rank options available. DPC operates per channel. Refer to the video @Mateyyy shared.
I suggest exploring various motherboard and PSU options to ensure longevity. For your video production needs, prioritize a system that supports future upgrades and reliable power delivery. Consider a PSU with sufficient capacity for your upcoming NVIDIA cards and storage requirements. When it comes to external storage, opt for a fast USB interface to handle high bit rates and light editing tasks efficiently. Your current setup is only beginning to show wear, so upgrading now will help extend its lifespan for several years.
The motherboard is quite expensive, but the PSU works well; it gets noisy when things get busy. With a price tag around 1600 USD (not counting the upcoming GPU upgrade), you might find options like this: a CPU from PCPartPicker, a cooler from Noctua, a motherboard from MSI, RAM from G.Skill, a solid-state drive from Silicon, and a case from Meshify. The power supply is a good deal at 11 kW with an 80+ certification. You could also consider a 3900X for future upgrades to Zen 3, which may be better for performance. Right now, Intel still leads in gaming, though the 3 series is catching up.
I was considering AMD over Intel, but later learned that AMD CPUs don’t support hardware encoding/decode for h.264/HEVC at the CPU level, whereas Intel does. Usually I let my CPU handle this task, unless GPUs have improved significantly. For high-quality recordings with minimal artifacts, I chose those bitrates in OBS: CPU 5000 Kbps, GPU 30,000 Kbps. The CPU appears to perform better in this scenario. This situation might change since I now have a GTX 1080. If I switch to an AMD processor like the 3900x—especially without a liquid cooler—I’m unsure how much slower it would be. The Noctua NH-D15 could still work, but I’m concerned about gaming performance on AMD. My current i7-5820k is still solid for most titles.
This setup is specific to MSI and isn't found in technical details of other brands. The configuration depends on the manufacturer's guidelines, not just hardware specs. Using more RAM shouldn't affect it unless the brand has restrictions.
