So you suggest i take out a module and use lane 1 and 3 with 8GB to get better performance?

Well,

I think you should try to ask Asus support, what the board is doing with 3 used banks. As I said before, I guess it runs on single channel mode, which costs you between 5 to 10 % of performance.

You could benchmark your RAM in both configs too.

I could ask Asus support but i doubt they would want to help me much.

5-10% performance is not a big diddlio for me. But i think the better sollution is to just buy another module of the same RAM making it up to 16GB. Problem solved right? As it will be using all 4 lanes. Or am i missing something.

I don`t know much about triple-channel RAM (never had a board using it), you have to find out, if your RAM supports double-channel too. If so, you are right, get another stick.
