Hey all,
I am building a media workstation for a friend based on a 2950X and an ASUS X399 Aorus Xtreme. I am looking to go with either 4x or 8x 16GB (64GB or 128GB). Haven't 100% decided. That's where my questions come in:
- Is there a relevant performance degradation w/8 sticks?
- I know the Samsung B Die preference, but I also don't want to spend an arm and a leg. What are some ideal kits for this setup? (Links appreciated!)
- Is 3200/C16 a reasonable target? Any reason to aim higher? Or maybe it's OK to aim lower and save the dough? 3200/C14 or 3333+ might be nice, but it's not worth 50%+ more $$$... is it?
Any other advice/insight ... feel free!
