    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    dasa Yes, that's clear and noted. I'm trying to find the best backup option out of those 3 left, just in case.

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    dasa They all cost +/- $2 for the kit, so price is definitely not a marker here.

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    Thank you! What will be your choice #2 riev90 ? Just in case... Looks like the 3 left are almost identical, but maybe there are some differences a newbie like me doesn't pay attention to?

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    riev90 dasa Thank you guys for your explanations, it was very helpful! I've finally got replies from all 4 manufacturers' tech support, and honestly it was not very helpful, since only Patriot agreed to share which die they use for their SO-DIMMs, and only Patriot and Kingston clearly defined...

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    Not to all NUCs. 🥺 My model is not on the list.

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    riev90 Thank you! PnP is probably the best in my case, since it's just an office machine (albeit pretty powerful one). You're right regarding this board's limitations, e.g. Intel support just confirmed this morning there's no XMP capability. I am waiting for some details from a couple of DDR4...

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    OMG, you're amazing, mate - thank you so much! 🤝 (y) My board is NUC12WSBi3 (tech spec) which is far from 690/790 boards, but maybe this tech spec will bring some more light on the situation (I'm, honestly, not that smart in reading them 🥺) Got it, but won't 2R potentially bring me some...

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    riev90 Thank you for the clarification! So the logic in search for a good RAM in my case will be: 1) long-list only those modules that work at 3200 out of the box (without XMP o/clocking), 2) shortlist to those 3200s which have tighter possible timings. Does this logic apply to all Intel-based...

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    Thank you so much! 🤝 I know that a bit slower RAM with tight timings will outperform a bit faster RAM with modest timings. Do you recommend 3200CL22 because you think frequency should be prioritized vs. timings, or because these particular modules work at 3200 out of the box? I mean should my...

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    Thank you mate! I'm from the EU, so I usually search on Idealo or Computeruniverse. But you don't have to help, really, I don't want to spend your time! 😊 I'm just curious which module shall I choose, if the choice is between e.g., 2400MHz CL15-15-15-35, 2666MHz CL18-18-18-43 and 3200MHz...

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    Good point regarding die-dependent level of heat! I've just found out that G.Skill Ripjaws V also has an aluminium heat spreader. Do you have any idea on which die it uses (i.e. how much heat it generates)? Thank you! [UPDATE] Just noticed that all those are DIMMs, while my mini-case build...

    DDR4-3200 CL16 2x8Gb Kit: Corsair Vengeance LPX or G.Skill Ripjaws V or Patriot Viper Steel ?

    Hi folks, I'm choosing the 3200 DDR4 RAM for my fanless Intel-based build (MoBo's RAM requirements) - office use and home theater with occasional Plex transcoding. I won't overclock, so what I need is that the RAM works on real 3200 clocks, the heat is nicely dissipated, and the quality of...

    What will be the right way to set PL1/PL2/Tau for my Intel CPU?

    Hi! My i3-1220P CPU has factory settings as 28W (PL1) and 64W (PL2), I want to fine-tune them according to my use scenarios. I know that in general I need to set both low, then gradually increase them and mesure CPU temp during workload using e.g., Intel XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility). However...
