Question Advice needed for CU-DIMM DDR5 - 8400Mhz ?

[lawshadowz]

Hi all,

So i am contemplating a DDR5 CU-DIMM 2 x 24gb 8400mhz for a Intel Z890 + 285k
Motherboard of choice = Asrock Z890i Nova (ITX) is a 2 dimm slot mb.

Right now im looking at 3 brands all are CU-DIMM @ 8400mhz kits

G.Skill Trident Z5 CK
Team Group XTREEM CKD
Kingston Fury Renegade

As for the G.Skill they have no proper cooling on the PMIC as far as i can tell and only 1 xmp profile to choose from. DDR5 seems to not like temps higher then 55c...could be wrong here.

Team Group has a better heat sink and has 2 xmp profiles to choose from.

Kingston Renegade don't know how well their heatsinks are any input is appreciated it comes with a nice 4 options xmp profiles.

ARGB or NO ARGB on DDR5 heard it may corrupt SPD is this true? Or is it better to completely ignore ARGB?

Will use 3 x 40mm fan RAM cooler no matter which brand CU-DIMM to lower the temps.

Lastly which brand should i pick when it comes down to stability, quality, reliability and which brand with general consensus is deemed a good ram with the least amount of corrupt bad experiences?
And yes i only pick RAM from the QVL motherboard listings.

Your input is greatly appreciated thx in advance!

If you're going to use dedicated RAM cooler regardless (which blocks/covers all RAM), then why is the ARGB even a question? 🤔

G.Skill is solid, among the top. Same with Kingston (e.g i exclusively use Kingston RAM only). Team Group is more value oriented. Corsair is somewhere in the middle.
