can 4 RAM sticks put too much pressure on the MC?

[tatsu99]

hello, im looking to buy a B150 motherboard which has 4 memory slots. i want to use 4x4GB configurtion of DDR4 2133 mhz. but my friend says that using a lot of memory sticks puts pressure on the Memory Controller of the CPU and can cause crashes.... what should i do? buy 2x8GB or 4x4GB? i want to use a i5 6500 and i will be buying this kit:

Yeah the ASRock Hyper series are notorious and one of "those" boards http/www.eteknix.com/asrock-finds-way-bypass-intels-non-k-bclk-oc-limits/

IF you are going to get 32GB of ram then it is best to be purchased all in one kit. This is done to ensure all 4 sticks of ram will work together properly. All 4 sticks will be tested to work together removing any chance that the two different kits wont be compatible. even if you buy 2 kits at the same time this does not guaranty that they will work together.

Was the 32GB of RAM a mistake?

If not, save yourself the $80 as it is basically a waste

Other than that, one other recommendation, get rid of the Kingston SSD, and get a 500GB 850 Evo, that would be much better.

Everything else seems reasonable.

You can find it on Newegg or something similar: http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3FA2KW8151&cm_re=samsung_850_evo-_-20-147-373-_-Product

This is not needed, you could keep the 250GB one, but you have more room on a fantastic drive

nah you're right, ill just stick with the 500GB SSD

and that 32GB wasn't a mistake, ill be running VMs on the new PC.

It's a great SSD, and more storage means more games to install on there. I own one myself along with 2 1TB HDD's.

too bad there isnt another white special edition RM650i PSU from corsair, it would have looked great in this build.
ill put some more cash and buy an i7 6700 so that i can run the VMs more smoothly along with BF1. i hope i can use the upcoming cheaper VR sets from microsoft with this build. will 60 fps make me sick while gaming in VR?
