Hello guys,

im using motherboard GigaBite X570 Aorus elite && Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 8x2(16GB) - 3600Mhz

And i installed it on slots : •-8-•-8 and everything is fine,

And now i bought one more 8GB, should i install it : 8-8-•-8 or •-8-8-8 ?
 
Solution
What if i bought one more to be 8-8-8-8
is this will be better ?
Nope.
Ryzen doesn't play as nice with more than 2 sticks installed - not to say it flat out won't work, but it may give you trouble nonetheless.
Plus, filling all 4 slots will force you to run them at a slower speed. You're welcome to try and force them all to run 3600mhz in bios, only to see the system start freezing and crashing at some point - perhaps almost immediately.

Simply return the single stick and get your money back. If you want to upgrade the ram later, then do 2x 16 3600mhz next.
