I would call them "8 module kit", an 8 channel kit doesn't exist.

In the past didn't exist.

Why wouldnt 8 channel kits exist? W3400 is 8 channels wide.

Still doesn't exist and never will. The channel configuration is determined by the memory controller and the motherboard.
If you install this kit on a W790 motherboard with a w-2400 cpu, this kit is working in quad channel.

That's why "8 channel kit" is wrong.

It is still an 8 channel kit if you have a CPU with only 4 channels. The CPU doesn't determine what kind of kit it is, it determines how it can be driven. This is like saying a quad channel kit isn't quad channel because you're using it on a dual channel CPU. The kit is still 4 equal sized DIMMS intended for quad channel, but your CPU is the limitation. By your logic no kind should be called even dual channel because it could possibly be used with a CPU with a single memory channel. Additionally, it will run 8 channels if it's a W-3400 so it's clearly an 8 channel kit. Your logic is completely backwards and makes no sense.

A quad channel kit is intended for quad channel. An 8 channel kit is intended for 8 channel setups. If you put it into a machine that supports less, that's on you, but it's not the kit's fault.

That's completely wrong: the modules themselves don't determine the channel configuration that's why you can't talk about channels on mems kit.
You can use a 4-modules kit both for dual and quad channel platforms. You can even buy a 4-modules kit for a six or eight channel configuration: you are just not taking advantage of the "full native" memory controller.

Modules are a passive element in the channel configuration, that's what people don't get.

No, it's not. When they say 8 channel kit or quad channel kit, it means that it's intended to be used with a system with that kind of memory hardware to drive it. It was made to be used with that many channels. The CPU has absolutely nothing to do with it. Sure, you can get two quad channel kits, put it in an 8 channel setup and it'll likely work, but it's still two quad channel kits because they were intended to be used in quad channel setup. It's not how it can be used, it's how it was intended to be used. If a person is buying this stuff not knowing what's in their machine, that's not a problem with marketing, it's a problem with the end user not learning what they need to.

You still focuse on label and marketing but it's a technical issue, my last sentence clears it up: "Modules are a passive element in the channel configuration".

It's an 8-module kit. Do whatever you want with it.

I think the point is that a quad-channel or 8-channel kit has been validated against a system with that many channels, otherwise you could just buy 8 individual DIMMs of a particular kind which may or may not get you where you're trying to go. Either way, I think your argument is the equivalent of arguing about the color of a bikeshed.

Y'all arguing over the marketing lingo, and I'm sitting here going
"OCing Registered ECC server RAM? Wat?!"

Sorry buddy, but you are still wrong, this isn't the hill to die on.

If you install a Xeon w9-3495X into a ASUS Pro WS W790E SAGE SE and you install 8 DDR5 ECC RDIMMs then it will be running 8 channels wide, not 4.

Quote from STH on the W790E: On the memory side, we get DDR5-4800 support (on most SKUs.) These systems support up to 8-channel DDR5 ECC RDIMMs and even overclocked XMP RDIMMs.

As you can see below, the Wx-34xxx all have 8 memory channels.

Unfortunately that table proves that my point remains valid.
If you install a W-3400 cpu it will run in 8-channel, if you install the same kit on the same mobo with a W-2400 cpu it will run in 4-channel. That's exactly what that table reports.
Even the quote confirms that: "The system supports up to X channels".

An 8-module kit will work in different channel configurations depending on cpu and motherboard. An X-channel kit doesn't exist and never will.

You clearly haven't read my reply because if you had, you wouldn't keep repeating this same nonsense.

I'm not sure why you want to die on this hill. It's a super weird argument to be digging your heels in on. CPU aside, the kit has been validated for whatever memory config it's being marketed towards. If you're enough of a dolt to be buying such expensive hardware and not know what you're doing, then that's on you. Simply put as I had already said:

A quad channel kit is intended for quad channel. An 8 channel kit is intended for 8 channel setups. If you put it into a machine that supports less, that's on you, but it's not the kit's fault.

You need to get it out of your head that a quad channel kit gives you quad channels. It was validated against quad channel systems and is expected to work in such systems. That's what it means. Nothing more, nothing less. It has absolutely nothing to do with the CPU that you're going to put it in and everything to do with testing and validation that they did during R&D. If you think it means something else, I'm just going to flat out tell you that you're wrong, because it doesn't.

And that's exactly the opposite of what i'm saying since thursday. But i'm the one who didn't read your messages!

You're simply saying that "validated in a X-channel configuration" and "X-channels kit" are synonyms: well, they're not.
A "validated in a X-channel configuration" is a kit that has been tested in that setup (especially XMP wise). Still, it's a "X-modules kit" without a pre-determined channel configuration since, again, Dram modules are a passive element in the channel configuration.

Yeah no one uses the terminology that way my dude.
