I've got a single 8Gb G.Skill DDR PC12800 module (11 cycles IIRC) and was presented with the option of trading it for a couple of 4Gb Crucial Ballistix Elite PC12800 sticks instead. The latter ones have XMP profiles and lower latencies (8 cycles IIRC). They are not part of a dual channel kit, but were bought independently from the same shop with a time difference of 2 months. And they do have the same product code though.
My question is: should I go for the 2x4 or use the slower single 8Gb stick?
The motherboard holds up to 4 DIMMs. OS is Windows 10 64bit.
