Is this memory Dual-Rank: PNY Anarchy 16GB (2x8GB) Kit DDR4-2400 (MD16GK2D4240015AB)?

[Mathias_8]

Hello,
Can someone tell me if the memory is dual-rank or single-rank? Not dual channel but rank. I'm not sure how one looks it up, but the company provides no info and I'm interested in them.

I would also be interested if you had any warnings about them. I'm mainly interested for its lower price.

DDR4 2400MHz.

Standard, not dual rank

Not bad at all, I would buy it if I wanted something of that performance.

I enjoy over the top expensive tech, so I buy from more premium companies than PNY. But it's not bad at all.

Okay, thanks. Too bad.

What are you going to use it for?

Are you sure you need dual ranked?

 

[Mathias_8]

I am using 2400MHz instead of 2133 because it seems to be a threshold in stabilizing framerates (see e.g. "Hardware Unboxing" (channel) RAM benchmark video).
However it is said that the difference in dual and single ranked roughly corresponds to one step in frequency. So it would be pretty pointless for me to buy instead of dual ranked 2133.

I think you're confusing dual ranked with dual channel.

If you're talking about increasing memory bandwidth and throughput by establishing an active connection to more than one stick at a time, then you're talking about multi channel architectures (e.g. dual channel).

Sorry for the delayed responses. I'm just getting over a grade two concussion and I can only look at a screen so long before I get this pounding headache. So I have to step away from time to time.

Never attempt to jump out of a moving car. You will end up landing wrong, hit your head and knock yourself out for thirty minutes and then suffer the symptoms of a concussion for months to come.

I'm not complaining about my condition, I'm telling you how to avoid it.

No, I'm following something pcgameshardware.de mentioned about dual ranked (not channel). I've also seen graphs in a FAQ thread in their forums, offsetting these two kinds of memory.

Hope you recover quickly.

Standard, not dual rank

By the way, may I ask how you know? I've asked support, and they didn't really know what to do with the question, but answering that the sticks have chips on both sides ("if that's what I mean"), which I believe is no reliable indicator either (or else that would be the standard answer, which it is not)...

Im just trying to shave costs again because of another issue with a cheap mainboard...

Manufacturers are required to list it if it's dual rank. This does not list how many ranks is on it, so it's standard.
