which ram with a 9900K?

[darkangel76]

Hello!
i'd like to know how many sticks of ddr4 memory i can put with a 9900K? I mean this cpu supports dual channel, so can I put 4 sticks of 8 Go of DDR4 (at 3000 or 3200 MHz for example)? or would it be better to put 2 sticks of 16Go? (My mother board is an Asus Z390E gaming btw)… Thank you very much for your answers….

2x16 will put less stress on the Memory Controller:

emm yes… these are the specs of the motherboard…. (But my question was about the processor, i wanted to know if putting 4 sticks of memory was ok with this cpu (i know the z390 mother boards can handle 1 to 4 sticks of ram)…. And, sr-71blackbird thank you for having answered me btw… (i appreciate)

2x16 puts less stress on the MC , that is what I run when setting up machines. Sometimes 4x8 can be problematic.

oki… then i'll go with 2 sticks of 8Go … Thank you very much for ur answer…..

Will be a great setup when you get it built , good luck. Post pics of the system when it's up and running.

I surely will…. (as soon as I get my ram)…. But I will also have to sell my old 4790K + 1080GTX to earn some money (in purpose to replace my GPU… ) (Right now, the 9900K + mother board + fan are still in the closet lol)…...
