I have four of these running with my 1800x on a MSI X370 Gaming Pro board. No issues Overclocking after Bios update. If you're going to put these in a Ryzen build though, be sure to update bios prior to overclocking. If you don't, it may not post.
Running 4 sticks at higher frequencies is harder than running 2, at least for ryzen. I don't know why though.

Fp material...

Ryzen builders, this may not likely to work at 3000mhz. Please research before you pull the trigger.

update: apparently it does: "It works great with no problems in an Asrock B450M Pro, Running at 2933Mhz. "

stick with 400 series chipsets if you are going for Ryzen

Any reason not to get two of these as opposed to a 16GB (8GB x 2) set?

I'm amateur, can someone tell me if I buy 2 set of 8gb (4 4gb), would the performance be the same as if I buy 1 set of 16 gb with 2 8gb ram?

Vendors may use different dies in different batches. In most cases, having 2 dimms in the same batch but with non-consecutive serials should not hurt...

Definitely worth trying though.

There is no difference at all. In one case, they are sold as singles. In the other, as a set. That is it.

What about 1950x Threadripper?

I have been having all sorts of issues with gskill 3600mhz memory even though it's running at that frequency.

I have 16GB of this particular ram, and I had to manually overclock to 2933 Mhz on the MSI b450 tomahawk board, before it was stuck on 2133 mhz
