Comparing Dual and Quad Channel 32GB RAM with 3600MHz specifications
Your setup doesn't typically use the highest supported channels. Running the maximum channels usually provides the best performance.
The quad channel setup doubles the data throughput, but if you're referring to higher memory capacities like 4x8GB or 2x16GB, it's more about whether you're using dual-ranked vs single-ranked memory. Since you'd run two DIMMs per channel versus one, both configurations would be dual-ranked. The actual CPU depends on the specific model and configuration.
Are you confident about that quad-channel feature? You mentioned you're using an AM4 system, but it doesn't support quad-channel RAM.
X58 supports three channels, featuring six slots for DIMMs like X79, X99, and X299.
