Hello there! I'm looking to upgrade my PC components, especially RAM. I have a 9900K and an XI Hero Z390 motherboard. My priority is achieving top performance, aiming for high frame rates at 1080p. I'm planning to install four 8GB RAM sticks in a 4x8 configuration, which is recommended for compatibility with the T-Topology OS. Although it might seem redundant to buy two identical kits, I believe it helps avoid potential issues. I've noticed limited availability of 4x8 kits, so I'm considering the F4-3866C18Q-32GTZR with standard timings (18-19-19-39-2N) for the Trident Z RGB. Would anyone have thoughts on this model or experience overclocking it? I'm also thinking about the F4-4000C17D-16GTZR (17-17-17-37 timings) and the F4-3600C16D-16GTZR (16-16-16-36-2N). If you have any insights or past overclocking attempts, I'd really appreciate it. Feel free to share any recommendations!
