Cyberpower "load config" number is 1483761.
I chose the 2x4 3000, because its dual channel I guess... but its at a slower speed of 3000Mhz. I'm pretty sure the motherboard supports 3200mhz RAM, so would it work better getting 1x8GB of 3200 over 2x4 of 3000? I have never heard people saying quad channel is good, but I have heard people saying dual channel is. I want the best initial performance in frames on games even though I may get another identical kit later, which is why I got the MSI B450M Pro-VDH with 4 ram slots. This is my first PC, with a budget of £800, so any way I can make it better i'd appreciate suggestions! Thanks!



Why they dont have 2x4 3200 is beyond me... but oh well.

Dual mode is far better. Much more than the jump from 3000 to 3200

You should indicate the latency of the memories, because they also matter. Above 3000 the advantage is small. Much less than the jump from 2400 to 3000.
