Cooler Fan and Ram channel advice?
Hi,
I saw this info about RAM, "Single-channel RAM is about 15% slower than dual-channel RAM. Dual-channel RAM works in pairs. Dual-channel RAM cannot be mixed with single-channel RAM. All motherboards support single-channel RAM, but not all motherboards support dual-channel RAM." source Single-Channel vs. Dual-Channel RAM - History-Computer
Q1. If I want 32GB total ram, is A or B or C fastest/slowest/no difference? (motherboard is Asus B550M-A Prime Wi-Fi & Bluetooth (DDR4))
A. 1 stick of 32GB ram
B. 2 sticks of 16GB ram
C. 4 sticks of 8GB ram
Q2. Lexar RGB Ares 32 GB 3600MHz vs Corsair RGB Vengeance Pro SL 32 GB 3600MHz, which one is better? Is Corsair worth the more expensive price?
Q3. Is fan cooler quieter or AIO liquid cooler quieter? Is the AIO liquid cooler fan noisy? Which one do you like?
Q4. For the silverstone case below, it does not come with any internal fan, can I skip adding internal fan?
Q5. For the silverstone case below, if I want to add 2 fans, is it Front = intake, Side = output? If I just want to add 1 fan, should it be front or side and should the only 1 fan be intake or output? (might not have space to add 2 fans)
Thanks

Silverstone case info
"Cooling system
Front
80mm x 1*
Side
80mm x 1** / 60mm x 1***
Remark
* If the connectors on the motherboard is facing forward, then the thickness supported for the fan is 27.2mm, minus the length of the SATA cable connector and minus the size of the motherboard. i.e. if the direction of the connectors on the motherboard is upward, then the front fan supports fans with thickness of up to 25mm.
** Supports motherboard size of 248mm minus the fan’s total thickness
*** Corresponds to motherboard’s connector design, which allows a total height of 23mm, while leaving the 4th PCI slot unoccupied."
