Ryzen systems support increased clock speeds using dual modules. Varying the number of modules can affect performance; some generations may limit 4 modules to 3200 MHz. Intel's specifications don't change this.

Relies heavily on the motherboard, especially with my ASRock setup needing 2x16GB. Using slots 1 and 3 limits it to around 2933MHz (Samsung) or 3066MHz (SK Hynix) based on the memory chips in DDR4. My ASUS board seems fine, supporting 4x8GB.
