Requested Crucial Ballistix 2x16GB 3200Mhz CL16 single rank (B die) which has shown 10-20% lower performance compared to dual rank (E die). I’ve been struggling with decisions and feeling really lost, so I’m reaching out for guidance. Should I stick with the 2x16GB dual rank RAM or try the 4x8GB single rank option? I want my answer clear, as this is really frustrating. EDIT: think this addressed my question, but I can’t find a way to delete the topic option.

Consider ranking by channel. One dual rank module per channel works just like two separate rank modules per channel when conditions match. Having four single rank modules in a dual channel setup is simpler to understand.

With a 32GB kit you'll automatically get dual rank memory, just like me. My setup uses a 32GB E-die kit.

4x 1R 8GB works just like 2x 2R 16GB. It doesn't matter much.
