Checking the performance of g.skill Trident ZX RAM options for an R5 3600 with AORUS B450 Elite board. Comparing 4x8GB at 3200MHz versus 2x16GB at 3600MHz, and determining which offers better speed and stability.
From basic hardware, a 5000 Ryzen supports up to 3600+ MHz. Your RAM speed is either 1 or 2 MHz per channel, with 2 or 4 slots available. A 2x16GB configuration could fit 2 MHz per slot, and if you assume Ryzen needs around 4 ranks total, those two slots should work well with a performance boost. You might set the default to 3600 for Ryzen models on sale, but higher speeds may not justify the cost.
1:1 configuration, but you're unsure about the optimal settings or whether there are clear guidelines in BIOS. Maybe checking some documentation or testing a few configurations could help clarify things.
first off idk what ranks are so.... heres my ram Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 2666MHz Memory Black. I do have 4 slots on my motherboard but idk anything and i need wisdom.
Discussing DRAM chips, single-sided RAM in DIMMs usually means a single-rank configuration, often used for lower GB memory. With DDR5 or similar updates, things could shift. Focus on what fits your budget—aim for the fastest speed and highest capacity you can afford. Lower CL is acceptable if it improves timing. Make sure to activate XMP/DOCP settings in BIOS. Just keep in mind the differences between desktop DIMMs and laptop SODIMM, but not a different type of DDR. Edited December 23, 2020 by Quackers101
