Question RAM decision

[Eamonn100]

I have researching RAM types and was about to buy... https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/MEMADA1005654/ADATA-XPG-Gammix-D35-64GB-2x32GB-DDR4-3600-RGB-RAM but then seen... https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/ME...M8kIlYWySpD49GDLDzTlWFz5KguQ8eIBoCbMYQAvD_BwE ... I'd never saw RAm with out the heat spreader before. On average it seems more expensive to buy... but why?

Is the Latency CL22 not worse than CL18?... and speed. Which is better 3200 MHz or 3600MHZ?

Thanks.

That second link is server memory which isn't going to work on a desktop platform.

Thanks, I've changed the link.

The new link is also server memory.

ECC is server/workstation oriented period and unregistered can work on certain desktop platforms, but registered cannot.

Oh, but I am going to be putting into a AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, I have read they can take ECC?

and if so... what about their speeds to normal un ECC RAM?

ECC DRAM is always going to adhere to JEDEC specifications and the highest DDR4 is 3200/CL22.

Standard DIMMs will be available at much higher transfer rates with lower latencies. Unless you have a reason to get ECC DIMMs it's typically not a good idea as your system performance will be lower.

Thanks for that.

And what would be the main reasons for getting ECC>

It's data corruption protection so for maximum data security and mission critical systems. Personally I only use ECC memory in my file server system, but don't worry about it in desktops, media or router box.
