Hello,
The more I research this the more confusing it gets (this ram stuff is new to me and I'm dumb). I'm doing a Velka 5 build and am researching vlp ram to be used alongside an Alpenfohn Black Ridge and (120mm Noctua low profile fan underneath). I'm in the USA (California) and would prefer it to be in the US as well and not something like the Adata on Aliexpress which is vlp or non-vlp at random. I also don't mind buying used ram. I'm looking for a 16gb stick and if I can only find one I'll go with it but my aim is to have 32gb. I also don't want to go with a proxy like Superbuy unless there's absolutely nothing else. I also don't understand what ECC is, from what I've seen it looks like rdimm is a no no and udimm is the way to go? Hopefully, someone can clear this up for me.
For the motherboard, I originally wanted to go with the ROG Strix but based on the heatsinks etc I know there wouldn't be enough clearance without having to remove some pieces. If anyone knows which mobo would be best compatible clearance wise I would appreciate it, I will be using the m.2 slot on top so that is important to me as well.
Thank you to everyone who reads this and for helping, I really appreciate it
