Compact DDR5 memory for the 7800X3D and Peerless Assassin 120 clearance
Hey! You're thinking about setting up your PC for simulations later this year. For RAM, you're aiming for 64 GB and considering the 7800X3D, EXPO's 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 setup looks ideal. In Europe, G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo 64 GB is the main choice, though it has a fairly thick heat spreader. That might mean you'll need to upgrade your fan for the Peerless Assassin 120, which isn't ideal. If you want a more compact option, are there any other low-profile RAM choices that match this spec? Or would switching coolers be necessary? Let me know what you think! Cheers!
Order a sycthe model 2 for $10 extra, yet it reduces your costs by $40 to $50 on premium RAM.
In reality, a simple online search didn’t reveal many affordable choices across Europe. Amazon is currently out of stock. Nearby stores have them available but charge around 80€... *sighs*
Trident Z5 Neo works well with AK620. The AK620 Zero Dark also fits nicely for a dark style.
I'm really impressed with the AK620 Zero Dark. Even though it's the priciest model, it has a great appearance. The deepcool site mentioned it has 47 mm of RAM clearance. I also checked the Peerless Assassin 120 from Thermalright using ImageJ, and it came out to about 30 mm in clearance. Thanks everyone!
Consider using fans in pull mode; the exhaust will naturally exit through the rear.
