Hello,
Here is our configuration in project: (49 PCs to equip)
Case: Silent Base 800 Black be quite
Ventirad: Dark Rock Pro 3 be quiet
Power Supply: Dark Power Pro 11 750W be quiet
Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus IX Formula (DUAL CHANNEL, 4 DDR4-4133MHz slots, Z270 chipset, Socket LGA1151)
Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K
RAM 32 GB: but which modules ???
Graphics card: Asus GeForce 1080 Ti ROG STRIX OC - 11 GB
Disc 1: Samsung 960 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD PCIe 512 GB
Disc 2: Samsung 960 Pro NVMe M.2 SSD PCIe 1 TB
Disc 3: WD Gold 10 TB SATA 3
Screen: LG 38UC99
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64 bits
For the RAM (32GB), we need your help:
G.Skill USA Tech Support Team told us what follows:
Trident Z DDR4 kit 2 x 16GB 3866 is best (DDR4-3866MHz kit F4-3866C18D-32GTZR).
The motherboard and CPU have less stress with only 2 modules installed.
With 4 modules, it needs to power and communicate with double the amount of modules so it is less effective.
But G.Skill Euro Tech Support Team told us what follows:
>> The DDR4-3866MHz kit F4-3866C18D-32GTZR (2x16GB) is not compatible with your system setup (Intel Core i7-7700K and ASUS Maximus IX Formula). For your system, we would highly recommend a DDR4-3200MHz CL14-14-14-34 with 16GBx2 (F4-3200C14D-32GTZKW) for best stability, compatibility and performance (F4-3200C14D-32GTZKW). Based on our performance tests.
>> You may also consider 8GBx4, but 16GBx2 should provide a slightly better performance on your platform.
Could you tell us your opinion?
Do you think that
the Trident Z F4-3200C14D-32GTZKW (2x16GB) CL 14-14-14-34
https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14d-32gtzkw
would be better than
the Trident Z F4-3866C18Q-32GTZKW (4x8GB) CL 18-19-19-39

G. Skill 16 Go 3200 CL14 : Latency 83 ns ; Read 13,7 GB/s ; Write : 8,4 GB/s
G. Skill 8 Go 3866 CL18 : Latency 17 ns ; Read 22,3 GB/s ; Write 18,5 GB/s

The result seems to favor the 4x8GB solution.
But is the test really accurate?
Do you propose a better solution (for best stability, compatibility and performance)?
We really want the best from G.Skill.
For example, why not
the 2x16GB 3333 Mhz (CL 16-18-18-38)?
Or
the 2x16GB 3400 Mhz (CL 16-18-18-38)?
They seem better than the 2x16GB 3200 MHz (CL 14-14-14-34).
But are they?
Thank you very much for your help.
