Looking for some info and help about RAM

[Theodwros Tenizis]

Ok guys, so i am upgrading my pc, more like motherboard ram and gpu and i could use some informations about ram. Let me make a list so i dont write a long post.

1. I currently own the corsair dominator ddr4 2800mhz. Its been a while since i wanted to buy some avexir ram just for the aesthetics on a rampage edition 10. Does anyone know if its worth it and if avexir is better? Or should i just upgrade what i have?

2. What set of modules is better? 4x8gb? or 8x4gb?

3. This is just a question for my self. If i wanted lets say 16gb of ram.. Does it matters if i buy 2 set of ram 2x4gb and 2x4gb (same clocks same speed, just two sets of the same ram) ? Or its better to just buy a 4x4gb? And the reason pls..

Thanks all for your time..!!

Dominator is better, but I have Avexir Core DDR4 and it does look pretty. Personally, I'd just stick with what I have/upgrade what I have.
4*8 will be better than 8*4. Room for later improvement, and you don't really need 32GB anyways. You'll be set for the lifespan of the PC.
Better to buy 4*4 as they are made to go with each other, not all sets of RAM are created equal even if they are *LITERALLY* the same RAM. If you get two identical sets and put them in a PC, there are still issues that can arise.

As far as Dominator vs Avexir, it will depend on the actual model#s you are looking at, both tend to have a little OC headroom. 4x8GB is preferred, 4 sticks is less stress on the MC 9memory controller) than 8 sticks will be. Definitely 4x4GB for 16GB in a single pack, you can buy identical packages and there are still no guarantees they will play - a 4x8GB set may cost a bit more than a pair of 2x4GB sets, but that's because it takes more testing to match up 4 sticks that will all play nice

Thank you for your time and help. ( About the 32gb, i need it because 16gb not enough for my job, that's why i am upgrading my memory too. )
