Hello, your current setup uses CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 with 2*8GB, which is a 16GB configuration. Switching to a single 16GB module would reduce the total capacity to 16GB, not 32GB. If you aim for 32GB, you’d need two 8GB modules or a higher-capacity option. This change shouldn’t impact performance negatively, but it will lower the overall storage size.

Obtain additional 2x8 cables for quad channel operation.

Yes, a quad channel offers more audio channels than dual channel, providing richer sound quality.

What kind of system are you using? Many systems lack quad channel support, but it will still operate in that mode.

Max hero IX is considering switching to Ryzen. A 16GB stick would cost less than a 2*8 package, so swapping the 2*8 for two 16GB kits seems like a smart move.

This setup works only in a single channel, no quad support. Having the same number of sticks usually improves performance. Another choice is using 2x8 and 2x16 channels. Performance loss should be minimal.
