DDR4 Availability

Hi all

Noob here Hello everyone!
I'm just about to upgrade one of my desktops with a i7-9700k/Z390 but looking for fast memory (eg 3600MHz, cl16 or better) is eluding me! I'm after 16GB G.Skill Trident Z but all the ones I'd consider seem to be out of stock or just not listed. Anyone know if there is a particular reason for that? Is it just demand exceeding supply? Modules going to other countries? Some other nefarious reason? I had the same problem last year when I upgraded another desktop so I'm wondering why the world keeps frustrating me!

Thanks for any wisdom

G.Skill U.K stock levels are never good, whenever i buy G.Skill it is usually from Germany.

I went with an 8 Pack 3200 C14 set this time around and on a z390 it does either 4000-C14 tight or 4500-C19 both at 1.5v on ASROCK.

Hi
Thanks for that. Anyone in particular in Germany/Europe recommended? Perhaps, in any case, I should consider a lower speed anyway. I'm looking at maybe a Gigabyte Aorus Ultra Z390 so I guess it will overclock quite reasonably too.
Cheers

That's ok. I won't be trying extreme overclocking, I'll be sticking to a conservative approach
Thanks
