[SOLVED] 2 dimms vs 4 dimms performance difference?

[luckystrikes]

Hello community,

I am trying to get G.Skill Trident Z RGB sticks for my new build.
They will be 3200 CL 14 and 32GB.

However, I can't decide which to go for.

For looks, I definitely want to go for 8gb x 4 sticks

however, some say it's better to go for 16gb x 2?

Would I sacrifice much to go with 8gb x 4 sticks in performance wise?
and by how much?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Cheers

no difference between quad or dual .

16GB X 2 ...Puts less stress on the MC = Memory Controller

What are the results of putting more stress on the MC?

Also, is it okay if I buy 8GB x 2 sticks now and buy in the near future another set of same 8GB x 2 sticks?

Not a great idea , because even identical modules purchased at separate times can be incompatible.
