Guys I'm just curious with the state of play for RAM and Ryzen. Not so much the timings and such like but the amount of DIMMs you have.
I was just wondering if having 2 DIMMs over 4 DIMMs of memory could cause me less of a headache when trying to mess about with timings... I hear that Ryzen doesn't like all the slots filled? I wasn't so sure if this was the same issue with Intel CPUs as such??
The kits I'm looking at are -
16Gb - 2 x 8Gb
32Gb - 2 x 16Gb
Given the price difference between the two, it would make more sense to buy the 32Gb really because it's cheaper. I know the timings aren't the best in the world but then they aren't going in systems that RAM timings have to be the best of the best Also with the fact that I could double the capacity again to 64Gb if I really wanted to later on, I'd only get to 32Gb with the 16Gb kits..
I just thought I'd ask TPU since we have a lot more Ryzen users
