Hi, I'm checking what others think about these memory options and which one you'd prefer with your 5900x and B550-E. From what I understand, Crucial has optimized all its 16GB modules for single rank performance. That's why I considered a 4x8GB setup might work better since it would run in dual rank mode. Thanks ahead of time! Stay safe, Lex.

The 4x8 will see some improvement.

Sure! Did you come across the company memoryc.co.uk? I saw a new deal there matching the 4x8GB price you mentioned. Nice find! Thanks for checking!
