[SOLVED] Which pair of sticks would be faster ?

[Deleted member 1560910]

HID Evoultion have confirmed they will work 100% WOuld the dual ranked sticks be slower then the single ranked sticks ?

I doubt you will see much of any real difference if it's just for gaming. There might be a 1-3% measurable difference in favor of the dual rank kit when benchmarking or possibly running memory sensitive workloads. This would depend on the memory controller and whether it sees much increase in performance between single and dual rank.

Since they have the same basic specs other than ranks, I wouldn't worry about which is faster and I would personally get whichever is cheaper since they're both supposedly compatible with the device.

Also My laptop suports 3200 memory am i right to think these sets will work with there default timings which are 3200 ?

You might have to manually set the modules to run at 3200 if it doesn't do it for you.

Even if 3200 is the default timings cl 20 ?

It's suppose to be a plug n play 3200 spec, but it might require setting XMP in the bios if the laptop supports that option. You won't know what happens until you install the models or someone else knows for sure.

Single Rank vs Dual Rank Memory: Which one is Better for Gaming? | Hardware Times

You’ve probably heard of dual-channel memory, but what about dual-rank? Yes, that’s another kind of memory DIMM (module). In simple words, a dual-rank memory DIMM is the equivalent of having two regular “single-rank” memory modules on the same DIMM. As such, a dual-rank memory module should be...

dual rank vs single rank..in syntetic benchmarks dual rank will win
you can also get some more extra ingame fps but that may be on few games...not every are bandwith/latency sensitive
dual rank is harder to overclock
if you setup bios ram settings correctly, system will be faster then with single rank (due to lower cpu stalls thanks to memory interleaving)
if you get 4 single rank modules, then theres no difference between 2 dual sided or 4 single sided, performance is same
