RAM
Hello, I'm the puzzled chicken trying to assemble a PC. I got this 1 G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB DDR4 SDRAM (3200 MHz) for my MSI Enthusiast Gaming AMD Ryzen 2ND & 3rd Gen X570 AM4 motherboard. But I see everywhere saying dual-channel RAM is better, so what should I do now? Should I get another Ripjaws stick or buy two 8GB units and try selling the one I already have? Some people warn I might lose about 15% performance with a single stick, while the board claims it supports dual channels. If anyone has advice, it would be great!
A lot of confusing terms with pictures and standards comes along with it, but a simple one works just fine.
Consider selling your current setup and purchasing a dual channel kit. For RAM, aim for something with low latency and DDR4 3600 is preferable over 3200. Within that budget, which option would be most suitable?
