Yea, so i bought the Ryzen 7600 and ASRock B650MHDV/M.2. Both of them were kinda on sale. I just need a memory stick. This is what i'm looking forward to: Kingston Fury Beast, DDR5, 16 GB, 6000MHz, CL30 I really want to end up with 32GB but mobo has only 2 dimm slots. How much performance will i lose if i go with 1 x 16GB instead of 2x8. Regards.

I recently looked at the prices and found a single stick of DDR5 16GB 6000 cl30 for 70 euros, while two 16GB units cost 100 euros.

You're disappointed, but you're settling for 16GB now. Hope to find a better deal later.

It utilizes your processor, and since it's dual-rank, it should perform better than a 16GB drive.

Single channel offers significantly lower performance than 2x8GB configurations, yet I still choose the 1x16GB option and can upgrade it later. I believe a 4800 CL40 2x16GB setup provides better value compared to alternatives like 6000 CL30 2x8GB or a single 16GB unit. Although 8GB DIMMs deliver less performance per clock, they are generally priced similarly. JEDEC 2x8GB kits typically match the cost of 2x16GB options in my experience.

Save a lot on pizza and cola, then grab a 2x16GB drive.

DDR5 differs from DDR4 in several aspects. A 2x8GB configuration isn’t ideal; consider upgrading to 2x16 for better performance. The improvements are significant.

It provides twice the capacity. You definitely need dual channel.

Fine, i'll dish out. But there's another obstacle. A lot of people are saying i should get the 6000 CL30 kit, but others insist the 6000 CL36 is enough for this ryzen. Anyone willing to drop some knownledge on this. What's worth what? EDIT: I bought the Patriot Viper Venom, DDR5, 32 GB, 6000MHz, CL30. Case closed.
