One of the many benefits of coming back to the EDEX, is finding the two that recommended me this build. I’m hoping one of them would be the foot that ‘pushes me in the door’ of Newegg (to buy the parts), and end this depressing feeling after reading what that person said in the Wurm forum.
Dezent being one of the two, after showing him the year-long issue that the RAM that was recommended no longer has a price tag (and telling him I have to look for low profile RAM (and the confusement of others of them not knowing what the hell I’m asking)), claims I can put RAM in any slot (in order to clear an aftermarket cooler, like my CRYORIG H7).
But when questioning that it’s highly recommended to follow the manufacturer’s manual on RAM placement, he claims that it might have a “very marginal” hit on performance (yet also saying that I ‘might’ see a hit when it comes to benchmarking).
Interesting. He also has shown these two that have high timings (that according to what I was told on VRChat, is needed for a Ryzen chip). The first is from a company called ‘Team’ (sounds like a knock-off Japanese company), and the second (from G.Skill) might not have clearance for an aftermarket cooler.

I’m going to try to get a second opinion on this from MVB Bluntman (the second person). Not to mention, I need to get a really good look at my current RAM. Knowing its height, should help me find RAM that would be compatible with the entire build.
