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)

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.

I'm also looking for RAM compatible with my Zen3 build.
I've just RMA'd a second kit of Trident Z neo F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC.
I did some browsing on reddit and noticed a lot of people having problems with G.Skill.

Most DDR4 kits currently for sale were released after my motherboard RAM QVL was published.

What did you end up choosing?

Went with the Trident z neo, cuz the kingston's price doubled overnight. So far so good.

Nice. They're really nice-looking kits. Both my 16GB kits of Neo were almost 5 years old when they died. I'm similarly looking at Kingston or another kit of G.Skill.

You can really just go with whichever you like the look of more or which is cheaper. You won't get any actual noticeable performance difference between them, especially on an X3D CPU.

I'm more worried about stabilty and long livety than performance. In this case which one you would choose?

Hard to say, I'm not aware of any good sources on how long specific kits will last. They're both well respected companies and have lifetime warranties on their kits.
