If I buy this ram https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMK16GX4M2B3200C16-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1511320228&sr=8-2&keywords=3200mhz+ddr4 will one stick work by itself or will I have to pair them? Same question for http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/vengeance-lpx-32gb-4x8gb-ddr4-dram-3200mhz-c16-memory-kit-black-cmk32gx4m4b3200c16 if I can use 2 sticks in duel and use other 2 in a different system or do they only work together?

Basically can I use the sticks in different computers and if they are sold as 2x8 or 4x8 can I use them as 1x8,1x8 and 2x8,2x8 etc?
 
Solution
You can use a 1 single stick of ram in most motherboards. But, you will not get the full speed out of them because you won't get dual-channel.

So it will work but will cost you some minor performance.
