Thanks for this.

An earlier post recommended the KC3000 model due to its DRAM cache. I don't honestly know what this means but did follow the advice on my pick.

How would this Viper recommendation stack up vs it? Is there any benefit?

I was wrong. That Kingston does have DRAM cache.

Few thoughts:

The Peerless assassin 120 is a huge cooler. The case comes with a rear fan installed. So the optimal fan placement would be fans above the ram and 1 inbetwwen the cooler heatsinks. In this case, the fan will cover the ram. So just go for NON RGB white rams.

I am not so sure about the airflow in that case. The GPU will be starved for airflow. Even if you have a bottom intake fan, the fans need to pull fresh air from outside the case through the bottom panel. I dont know how effective it will be.

go for the Hellhound OC if you choose the CH360 case. It will be a tight fit!
