Question will this work?

[flydude11]

I'm building my first pc. The mobo i will be using is a x570 crosshair 8 hero and the ram i have ordered is this

Now after reading this article https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-3000-best-memory-timings,6310-2.html I would like to run 2 of these kits

The kits are supported on the mobo qvl. And are single rank from what i have read. Can i run 2 of these kits? Or do i need to step upto this?

As far as i can tell they seem to be the same ram just in a 4 pack. I live in a small town and buying pc components just isn't available in my area. The 2x8 pack is already on it's way from newegg. Having to to return the 2x8 and ship the new 4x8 would delay my build by quite a bit. Especially as it will be shipping from the U.S. to canada, plus after factoring in shipping the 2x8 back for return would be more expensive, not to mention inconvenient. I'm really hoping i can get away with just ordering another identical 2x8 pack.Am i correct from reading that article that this would be good setup? And if so should simply buying the additional 2x8 work?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for reading....

Yes, you want to get the kit that comes with FOUR matched DIMMs, IF you want to run four DIMMs and I recommend NOT doing that because running four DIMMs is twice as stressful on the CPU and internal memory controller as running two DIMMs would be. And, you can get that 32GB in a two DIMM kit.

You're going to have to pay a little more if you want the CL16 latency kits though. A little less than that four DIMM kit if you can live with the CL19 Ripjaws kit.
