My goal has been to cool a Ryzen 5600x with a Black Ridge v2 and 120mm Noctua NF-A12x15. This setup seems to provide best-in-class temps/noise for sub-50mm CPU air coolers, but necessitates VLP memory. Suggestions in this thread have really helped me find a kit that can achieve CL16 3600MHz for my gaming rig.I just received a kit of Micron 2x16GB 3200MHz (MTA18ADF2G72AZ-3G2E1) from this store via Superbuy thanks to [USER=21786]@charlybegood[/USER]. I've been able to achieve a stable overclock of 3600MHz 16-18-18-38 at 1.4V using this popular guide. I also tested the v-color 2x16GB 2666MHz kit and a slower Micron 2x16GB 2666MHz kit off eBay (MTA18ADF2G72AZ-2G6E1) before I went ahead and ordered from China. I could only get the v-color kit stable at 3600MHz with 18-19-19-39 (GDM disabled) timings at 1.45V, or so I thought because it threw a WHEA error after a few hours of OCCT 7.1 AVX testing. The kit POSTs at 1.5V, but I did not try tuning at this voltage. As for the slower Micron kit, I couldn't get it stable above 3000MHz and eventually just settled to use it at its JEDEC speed/timings.I am by no means a ram overclocking enthusiast and I'm not sure if going to VLP route is worth it unless you can put up with tuning memory and winning the silicon lottery. I don't think a build's viability should hinge on whether or not your particular ram kit can hit numbers beyond its JEDEC/XMP profile. <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/glBEk7m" ><a href="//imgur.com/a/glBEk7m">Micron VLP Overclocked to 3600MHz</a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
