2x32GB vs 4x16GB DDR5 for 64GB on AM5: What’s the Best Option?

Asked By TechWizard99 On

I'm in the process of building a PC and I've hit a snag on my RAM choice. I need 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory for my applications, but I'm torn between getting a 2x32GB kit or two 2x16GB kits. I've heard that the AM5 platform may have stability issues with four sticks, potentially making it harder to maintain that 6000MHz speed. Should I invest more in the 2x32GB for better stability, or can I safely use two identical 2x16GB kits without major problems?

I'd recommend going with the 2x32GB option. It's likely that you won't be able to run 4x16GB at 6000MHz without some stability issues, especially on the AM5 platform. Stability is key!

Can you explain what 6000MHz actually gives me? I know I need 64GB, but are you saying 4x16GB won't work at all?

From my experience, 4x16GB might not even post reliably at those speeds. The chances of hitting issues are quite high. It's safer to stick with fewer sticks for better performance.
