Hi,

I still need to get RAM for my Ryzen 3600, I will use either MSI Carbon Gaming Wifi or Asus ROG Strix E-Gaming. I got a Noctua nh-d15s from my friend and its huge, would like to use it with 2 fans if I upgrade to ryzen 3900x/5900 later on.

I would like to get 32GB and later on upgrade to 64GB, I do alot of RAW editing/photoshopping.

My options from 3600MHz

1.Kingston 32GB (2 x 16GB) HyperX FURY DDR4, 3600MHz, CL18, 1.35V (HX436C18FB4K2/32)
2.Corsair 32GB (2 x 16GB) Vengeance LPX, DDR4 3600MHz, CL18, 1.35V (CMK32GX4M2D3600C18) OR (CMK32GX4M2Z3600C18)
3.Kingston 32 GB (2 x 16GB) HyperX Predator, DDR4 3600MHz, CL17, 1.35V (HX436C17PB3K2/32)

I've narrowed G.Skill Ripjaws and some G.Skills out because they are higher, and might not work with noctua with dual fans.

Check the QVL for each motherboard against the specific memory model for both the 32GB set (and 64GB set although they don't guarantee two separate sets to work together) for your current CPU and the 5XXX CPU. I don't see many real matches there so a lot of it depends on how likely you are to do each upgrade.
