Our system doesn't oppose being mistaken or sharing incorrect info, but doing so regularly feels like trolling. Keep that in mind.

I manage four channels, each using 4GB of space, operating in dual channel mode and reading at 16GB. The main issue is that one connection runs slower than the other, leaving me with that reduced speed.

Sorry, I’m missing some details about your request. It seems you’re trying to clarify that you used 4 slots and got 32 GB, yet the bandwidth remains unchanged.

Four sticks because it seems like a ballerina. The only reason I’m going to try it again now is that RGB is here.

Sure? Give it a shot and see what happens with just 8 gigabytes. 16 gigabytes are now common for modern games, especially with multi-threading.

But even with 32GB it doesn’t seem enough. It feels like we’re on the same page. A 4x4 setup uses 16GB, and he was wondering if he should stick with 8GB sticks for a total of 32GB, or invest in 16GB sticks to free up space for more storage. Probably, if he needed to run several games at once, 32GB would be helpful.
