Hey, I need to check if an i7 8700 can work with a 4x8 GB Trident Z DDR4 RAM. Let me see if I can help.

It will work, but using 2x16GB would be better. Do you already have the CPU?

No problems with using 4 memory sticks, but without a Z370/Z390 board you'll be restricted to 2666mhz for RAM. You didn't specify the frequency or the board.

It will help it, but avoid quad sticks. These chips don't show real bandwidth differences compared to consumer options.

bord stands as the top 11 hero in the ASUS ROG lineup, while the ram is the "G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16Q-32GTZR" as listed on Newegg.

Performing 4x8 and 2x16 runs is acceptable. The expected performance gap is minimal, with the main advantage of 2x16 being room for future upgrades. Both configurations can match or exceed the speed of 2x8 at comparable distances and times.

I understand you're looking for a 32GB option that was more affordable than the 16GB model.

It should work without issues, though there may be a minor chance it won't operate at that pace since it exceeds the CPU's recommended speed. This issue remains consistent no matter which setup you choose.
