Ram for large aircooler?

Vllr · 21 Jul 2019 at 23:51

Im currently building a new rig around a 3900x and plan on using a darkrock pro 4 or nh d15 both have around 40mm clearance. Is there any other options for high frequency low profile ddr4 other than the corsair vengence lpx?

I would say never buy lpx unless you building on a budget.

There is lots of low profile ram about. What speeds are you looking for 3400/3600mhz?

Around 3600mhz or faster that i can underclock and tighten the timings up to 3600mhz cl 16

Your not 100% going to hit 3600mhz. So don't blow your load of ram.

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT, make sure you get one with AES in the model number and you're good to go. It's all Micron-E stuff and they clock like beasts. Grab a 3000C15 or 3200C16 kit, either should be good for 3466+

Silicon Power Gaming Turbine....They have 1.2V models that have stock MHz of 3600 and 1.4v models with 4133MHz.....Check them out if you want....Oh and they are low profile too....

Crucial Sport AT is also good (LT i think is a bit inferior?).

What about the 3000 CL16 dual rank kits?

I've seen a couple of people saying now that they have managed to get the 3200C16 kit to 3600C16 with no issue.
