Searching for a discreet RAM option compatible with the Noctua NH-D15 in a black finish.
Searching for a discreet RAM option compatible with the Noctua NH-D15 in a black finish.
You're planning to purchase two 8GB DDR4-3600 DIMMs for your new PC. You recently bought a Corsair 275R Airflow case which provides adequate cooling space. Your current setup uses a Noctua front fan that requires either 165mm or 170mm clearance depending on RAM height. The challenge is locating low-profile RAM options that match those speeds without compromising performance. A G.Skill DIMM kit priced at 170 euros with 44mm height comes to mind, but you're concerned about compatibility with your cooler. If you could assist, finding a suitable low-profile RAM kit with comparable speeds would be helpful. You're based in Germany—thank you for your support!
You recently purchased a budget G.Skill kit, removed the heat spreaders, and everything is functioning properly. It was a 3200 model, currently operating at 3466°C.
They've become my top choice for a while now, especially with air coolers. They're also reasonably priced... https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/VNJt...m2d3600c18 If you haven't got one yet, the Master Master Liquid 240 Lite is a solid pick—they're budget-friendly and perform well. https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/9gRF...m-a20pw-r1
I've discovered the Ballistix Elite DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR4-3600, CL16. It seems you can also take out the heat spreader if necessary. My goal is to get quick dimmers with minimal delays. I already have the cooler and case. Updated on October 30, 2019 by Kayath
It wouldn't change much, especially with a minor OC, but you didn't mention the specific CPU.
