Check if the RAM size fits your motherboard specifications.
Check if the RAM will fit on your MSI B450M PRO VDH-PLUS. The listing says it’s 0.5cm longer than your current setup, which might cause issues. The length you mentioned (13.3cm vs 13.8cm) could be a discrepancy—confirm measurements. Recommend using DDR4 2x16GB 3200MHz RAM for better performance.
The only situation where RAM height causes a problem is with AIO coolers or big air coolers, but it doesn’t affect the motherboard. You should be fine otherwise. Which CPU cooler do you use? Any of these options could work: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory...pgb&page=1
I think the extra space is due to the cooler on the RAM: The RAM should fit without any problems. Make sure to confirm with your cooler if it accommodates it. Large air or water coolers with a top radiator might block the RAM.
The length isn't the main concern. The extra length comes from the heatsink; the real board size matches all DDR4 modules. The RGB heatsink contributes additional height. This could pose a challenge for slim CPU coolers. Regarding TeamGroup, their modules perform well. I've used them before for affordable yet dependable RAM. If you're not achieving the advertised speeds, it may be due to wrong timings on the motherboard or because you're using just one module, which limits dual-channel benefits.
Sure, I understand. The brand isn't against it, but a single 2400MHz channel isn't designed for that setup with an RTX 2070 and a Ryzen 7 3700X. Thanks.
