You have the Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus with WiFi D4 and an Intel i5-12600K. You're planning to install a 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3600 CL18 memory. Decide between 2x32 or 4x16 based on your needs.

Not really. Ddr4 offers great stability now, making it easy for any modern board to support xmp on multiple sticks. My 9900k, 5600 and 5600x3d all work with 4 sticks using Ddr4. Of course, begin with 2x32 and expand later if needed. Edited March 19, 2024 by Dedayog
