Consider your needs and choose wisely!
I've been looking into RAM choices for my build using a 3950X. I'm planning to install a 2x16GB DDR4-3600 or higher kit, CL16 with a heat spreader. I also intend to push my RAM overclocking. Based on that, I have a few options and wanted to find out what's best for a maximum overclock, paired with a Ryzen 9, in a compact mini-ITX setup.
The highest supported speed is 3200mhz. At 3600mhz, using two 8GB sticks gives a total of 16GB. Overclocking the memory controller becomes more feasible then. The board selection also matters; higher-end boards offer better adjustment options. A 32GB configuration isn't ideal for achieving maximum overclock as you noted.
You're seeing a top-end mini-ITX X570 motherboard with a decent maximum overclocking potential. While extra OC isn't crucial, having a bit more would definitely help. I doubt you'd be able to get a working build from stock alone, but a kit would make it much easier.
Noticing closely, the Trident Z RGB is CL16... yet it's 16-19-19... I question if these will meet requirements on Ryzen. Possibly... I don't know. The Trident Z Neo matches the same specs but with a different appearance. The same applies to the Royal. Here’s the "B-Die" Royal setup. Aim for the 16-16-16 tab on the left and search accordingly. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hgn8TW/ These components should handle voltage well. The main challenge would be the memory controller. They’ll support XMP timings on my Intel machine at 4000mhz. I’ve tested standard Red and Black Trident Z 3600mhz setups with Zen+ 2700X and 8700K. My Corsair LPX offers lower specs and won’t perform well. Clocks are not great, but they’re suitable for tight timing needs.
