Will two identical DDR4 kits (2 x 2x8GB memory kits) work in quad-channel mode?
Good afternoon.
I would like to know the opinion of experts on some issues regarding the choice of RAM, as well as its operation in four-channel mode.
Motherboard:
MSI X299 SLI Plus , supports quad-channel mode.
RAM (for example):
the Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (3200Gts, CL 16, 2x8Gb) - 6010₽ the
Corsair CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 (3200Gts, CL 16, 2x8Gb) - 5350₽ the
Corsair CMK32GX4M4Z3200C16 (3200Gts, CL 16, 4x8Gb) - not for sale, presumably 19000- 23000₽
The main question is: is it worth buying a set of four 8GB sticks or can I buy two identical sets, each of which will have two 8GB sticks (this is much cheaper) - will they work in four-channel mode? If not, how much of a gain does using quad-channel compare to dual-channel?
Since socket2066 implies a limitation of DDR4-2666, then, as I understand it, any memory with a frequency above 2666Hz will work at this frequency?
I will also be grateful if they clarify the difference between the two absolutely identical 2x8Gb memory models above: CMK16GX4M2 B 3200C16 and CMK16GX4M2 Z3200C16. Judging by what I could find on the net, the letter "Z" only indicates that the memory was released later - apparently, in this regard, it is cheaper?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Take at least different kits, the main thing is that they support channel 4, and have the same frequency, voltage and timings. Although 4 different dies, performance and stability will not be affected in any way.
