Should I get Four or Two Sticks of RAM?
I'm currently working on making a new build on PCPartPicker and was was wondering if it is better to have four or two sticks of RAM. I'm aiming to have 32 GB of RAM in this new build so it would either be 4x8 or 2x16.

Here is my build if you want to take a look: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TJster/saved/#view=MWP28d

I'm sorry, you lost me.
I'm not sure how else to clarify.

You initially said "There is not many motherboard can take two different two-channel well."

I responded and said "I haven't had a single issue getting a motherboard with four RAM slots to run four modules of RAM".

You responded back and said "I'm taking about reliability, not performance."

I responded to that and said "So was I".

Or to summarize, you stated that not many dual channel boards do four modules of RAM well. I challenged that and stated that I haven't had an issue across half a dozen, which range from a few basic OEM (Dell and HP) boards up to mid-high or higher end ones (depending on how you consider an Asus Maximus Formula, P8Z68-V Pro, and ROG Stric B550-F), and from all the DDR generations (besides the newest). The one difference is that you'll get less of a performance ceiling with more modules, but this isn't really an issue if you're just setting XMP profiles with not-pushing-for-the-moon speeds, and your follow-up signifies you weren't talking about that sort of case anyway but rather just getting it to run reliably.

I, and many others, use four modules of RAM on dual channel boards quite reliably, so your initial claim isn't true. The extra RAM slots aren't just decoration, you know. They work.

Look at it.

So was I? I said "I haven't had a single issue getting a motherboard with four RAM slots to run four modules of RAM".

You asked me a question like this "So was I?" that is not make a sense to me. And you misunderstood on my comment.

What I claimed is true. I still do not recommend to use different brand in between two 2-channel. All 4 modules should be same brand names/model numbers if possible.

What I claimed is true. I still do not recommend to use different brand in between two 2-channel. All 4 modules should be same brand name and model number if possible.

you can use double sided and single sided, random brands, random speeds, ect.. together with zero issues.

the only exception is latency, cas latency usually needs to be matched so no issues arise.

I did use two different brand names/model numbers on my computer just to fill up four RAM slot (DIMM), it is not working well. First RAMs are on first 2-channel, and new RAMs are on second 2-channel.

That is why it would've been easier if just get same brand names/model numbers. For this, I didn't see any reason to dissolve my claim.

and you likely didnt match the cas latency.... had nothing to do with brand or model number :steamfacepalm:

Yes, it does with brand or model number, and I did matched cas latency.

no it doesnt matter at all to have different brands or "model number"... that has zero to do with the issue you had, facts are facts.

i could easily go buy a different brand ram module than my current ram, match the cas latency and have zero issues.

as for the "model number" thing you keep mentioning.... that is irrelevant as a "model number" has zero to do with ram specs or how they work, nor whether they will work together.

not sure what your "dissolving", but your claim is false.

its a known fact, why would i need to prove anything to a random on steam... or the internet for that matter...

but here, since you cant get over being wrong...

and to add to it, like i mentioned only cas latency is important, tho matching latency is important, you can get away with being close to matched (higher or lower) and it will still work, it just defaults to the lower cas on the lowest module, same goes for speeds (GHZ).

brand has nothing to do with it, nor does a model number... a model number has literaly nothing to do with anything, except being a model number.

It is not me that has an issue. I'm not dismissed my claim because of what I saw, nor dismissed my recommend.

Ah, apologies for the misunderstanding then. I made it a question as I felt it was rather obvious I was talking about the same thing you were, since I clearly stated that.

Okay, but that's a different statement now. I took your statement of...

"There is not many motherboard can take two different two-channel well."

...to mean you thought that four slot motherboards that were dual channel capable (as opposed to quad channel capable) weren't often able to reliably run four modules/two sets of dual channel RAM reliably. That is why I was replying to you to begin with because I've never had it NOT work.

However, even if you meant there's not many that can take mixed RAM, I still want to say that's likely wrong. You're extrapolating your one experience to signify that most others are the same way, and that's not always the case. In reality, RAM is more robust than people think.

You're seemingly basing your claim that very few motherboards will handle this based on your one experience only? Anecdotal evidence of one attempt is hardly a good foundation to presume the majority are the same, and the burden of proof is on you to support your claim that they are, not ask others to prove it isn't true by refuting your lone experience.

you really can't be the dope'y he showed you a video that shows you know nothing.

it's how it works, if you can't see the video or know what it means hmm..
