G.Skill DIMM 32 GB DDR4-3600 Kit, RAM(F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC, Trident Z Neo)

My motherboard is daisy chain so I will be using 2 x 16 sticks of the above memory.

So is it correct that the best type of memory for my situation is dual ranked?
 
I have 4x8GB 8-pack 3600MT/s RAM 14-15-15-36 CR2 in a daisy chain motherboard. These are single ranked sticks but with all four slots full I get the Dual Rank boost but with better timings. I can't boot above 3600MT/s as the PC wont post. I also cant reduce the primary timings, I have to leave them at stock.

2x16GB is very likely to be Dual rank but I cant find any information about the rank on the manufactures website. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cpsxjg/is_this_the_best_ram_i_can_buy_for_3900x/ hints at DR hynix. If you want to take the chance of getting 3600MT/s working then only two slots are the best way to go with dual rank ram. Speeds really can drop if you have 4x2 RAM (4 slots of dual rank can be as low as 2933MT/s maximum with some cpus). I am using a 10900k.


If you are ryzen then this could be useful.

Note the information on page 11, there is a table at the bottem. Remember there is a safe speed and an overclocking upto speed. Overclocking upto speed is the risker one.

You should check that your motherboard QVL supports the RAM.

Thanks. I have a Gigabyte AMD Ryzen X570 AORUS ULTRA AM4 mobo(daisychain) and I intend to get a 5900X (not anytime soon lolz). I'm not intending to overclock or anything, i'll just use the XMP profile. I just learnt that 2 sticks is preferable for daisy-chain mobos. And on top of that 2 sticks work better with dual-rank whereas 4 sticks work better as single rank.
 
The source above for the information on your RAM choice uses the following hardware:
AMD RyZen 3700x
MSI MPG X570 GamingPro Carbon WiFi
32GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 (F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC )

Gigabyte dont appear to have a memory compatibility list. AMD's website shows the RAM as ready for Ryzen 3000 series.

So it is dual rank, nice one, thanks a lot that really helpful.
