DDR4 Kingston FURY BEAST 3600MHz 32GB - KF436C18BBK2/32 or DDR4 G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 3600MHz 64GB - F4-3600C18D-64GTZN for 5800x3D and 9070XT

Hi all!

So my Ripjaws RAM just died, (1700+ errors in 4 passes, lol), and I'm in the process of choosing my new one.

The two RAMs that I considered are the following:

DDR4 Kingston FURY BEAST 3600MHz 32GB - KF436C18BBK2/32 or 64 GB version (literally 12 euros is the difference)

OR

DDR4 G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 3600MHz 64GB - F4-3600C18D-64GTZN or 64 GB version ( here the price is a bit bigger, but the 64 GB is CL18 instead of CL16).

Please can you guys help me decide which RAM can be the best and safest choice her?

Also, there are pros and cons for both, like RGB, no RGB, etc.

My first idea was to go with the G.Skill, but after my Ripjaws V died for the 2nd time (RMA the last one, and the new one died 1 year later), I'm wary and also read a lot about this RAM failing too.

On the other hand, I could not find anything about the Kingston failing, but it is 18 cl. Does it even matter big time?

These 2 RAMs were suggested to me, and the guy said the following:

"From my point of view, I think the Kingston Fury beast series would be the rational choice, they are pretty universal and we sell a lot of them. The G.Skills are worth considering if you really want to get the most out of your configuration performance wise."

He also said:

"I would go with the CL18 3600MHz Kingston in your case. If it doesn't run stable at 3600MHz, you can always downgrade it to 3200MHz and it will run flawlessly."

Thank you for helping me in advance.
