Hi,
Just wanted to know that is there any difference between a single stick of dual channel memory kit and quad channel memory kit.
Like in MSI b450 gaming pro carbon AC motherboard's supported memory specification on the MSI site, the G.SKILL Trident Z F4-3000C16Q-32GTZR(quad channel kit) is mentioned with 1/2/4 DIMM compatibility. I am wondering if I can use G.SKILL Trident Z F4-3000C16D-16GTZR(dual channel kit) instead. And if not then what all problems will be caused if I use it. Processor is Ryzen 5 2600x.
Please help.

Due to DDR4 standards and XMP, any RAM in such configuration would work. Ryzen processors do not support quad channel but have 2 channel IMC and with 4 sticks they would work in 2 dual channel configuration. Up to 3000MHz in dual channel with 2 sticks it will most certainly work at that frequency but with 4 sticks may have to run them at 2666Mhz.

The GTZRX are not available in my country. Thus I was wondering if I could use the GTZR dual channel instead of Quad Channel.
Also is there any other RGB memory option for B450 and AMD ryzen 5 2600x

My question is that whether MSI B450 gaming pro carbon ac will support dual channel GTZR ram F4-3000C16D-16GTZR as it supports the quad channel F4-3000C16Q-32GTZR in 1/2/4 DIMM configuration.
