4x 8's or 2x 16's - DDR4 Question

[slipd]

Hi guys,

Slowly pulling together components for my new Ryzen build and I've been getting bogged down with the memory side of things... so, in a nutshell, if that's even possible, I'm looking at some 3200MHz kit for my build; 32GB but in 2x 16's or 4x 8's?

Thanks.

Equivalent
Would go for 2x16, tiny bit less power, easier to cool

If you don't mind me piggybacking on your thread, I've got a similar quetion.
I'm going the 3700x route but need 64GB RAM.
32GB sticks seem hard to come by, so would 4x16GB be a good choice? Any problems anticipated?

it was pointed out the newer ryzen CPU's go against all former knowledge and now run a nats nut faster with 4 x XX set up
personally i always go 2 x XX sticks as you have options to double up in future if needed
