Discussing a minimal RAM setup.
Discussing a minimal RAM setup.
Hello all, I have a weird question for y'all. Lol. Does anyone know what the lowest profile RAM actually is? I'm running an i7-7800X CPU that is not delided, so it does get and stay fairly warm. And I'm not much of a fan on water cooling, so I went with a beefy air cooler, the Noctua NH-D15, but I'm running G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB sticks of RAM right now. I can't put the second 140mm fan on the cooler, since I have to move the fan upwards to fit, and it hits the side panel and won't let it close if I do that, so I'm running it as a D-15s, with only one 140mm fan. But I've started to overclock it, so I'd like to get the second fan on to help with temps one of these days. Also, I'll be upgraded to 32 or 64GB of RAM anyway, so I will be in the market. Anyway, I know Corsair's LPX RAM is super low and I've used it in the past with good results, but I also found a G.Skill Aegis kit that looks like it's even lower profiled, almost like it doesn't have a heat spreader on them. Just wondering as I'll probably be buying a RAM kit in March some time to upgrade either way. Thanks in advance!
The Corsair Vengeance RAM measures 33mm, whereas the Aegis models are approximately 31mm.
