Allright. Thank you very much for your answers!

I see, thanks. The price difference is a bit too much, and I wanted to know if it is worth it or not. My final question is: I'm kind of suspicious about my RAM slots being the problem. However, if they were, would my PC even turn on? Could I have played a game for an hour straight? (It did mini-stutter from time to time, and crashed once but RAM could've caused that, not the slot)

Yeah my projects aren't huge as well. So I feel like 32 GBs would be enough. Also, do you think there is a big difference between 3200mhz vs 3600mhz? Especially in gaming?

I have looked at some render videos and it seems like there isn't much of a difference between 64 vs 32 gbs of RAM (render time wise).

The RAMs I listed weren't available on MSI's compatibility list but they were on PCPartPicker's list so I'm gonna assume that most RAMs won't be a problem compatibility wise. The only remaining questions are: 32GB 3200 or 32GB 3600 or 64GB 3200 or 64GB 3600 You see, I don't know. I've heard that it helps with renders but I render videos at 1080p. I feel like 32GBs would be better compared to a 64GBs but I'm still not certain.

Hello everyone, I have been using Crucial 64 GB DDR4 RAM (3200MHz, CL16, 1.35v) and everything has been going well since yesterday because I got a blue screen with the code "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT". Then I ran some tests (Memtest and the Windows one) and got errors. Today I decided to send the RAM to RMA and it seems like I'm gonna get my money back. Now I have to decide what RAM to buy and I wanted to get some advice on that. I usually use Adobe After Effects (not 4K but 1080p exports) and Adobe Illustrator for my work and I play games very often. My questions are: What type for RAM should I buy for a PC with an 8700k on a Z390-A PRO? Could 3600MHz bring even more problems with compatibility? Should I go down to 32GBs of RAM (with 3200MHz [or maybe 3600MHz])? (I feel like this is the way to go but I'm kind of concerned about lower performance compared to 64GBs) Are there huge performance differences between a 3200MHz and a 3600MHz? Should I risk a 3600MHz with my build? (to be honest, I wanna play it safe with 3200MHz since I was already using 3200MHz but I'm open to suggestions) I have been looking at these: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kXbkcf/gskill-ripjaws-v-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3200-cl16-memory-f4-3200c16d-32gvk https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nvjNnQ/gskill-ripjaws-v-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c18d-32gvk https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kmBhP6/gskill-ripjaws-v-64-gb-2-x-32-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c18d-64gvk

Budget (including currency): 300$ Country: Turkey Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: After Effects, Media Encoder Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Existing parts: Intel Core i7 8700k (running at stock speed), G.SKILL Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz C16 DDR4 RAM, ASUS TUF RTX 3070 Question: Previewing most 4K videos (even in Quarter quality) in After Effects is really slow and even rendering some of those videos take time in Media Encoder. I've already applied the tips that are given on YouTube, but doesn't improve the speeds. What part should I upgrade for faster preview/render times?

Well I just installed the Scythe Fuma 2 and in the same game I'm getting around 55-60 degrees. This is crazy. Case fans will arrive today too, so they will decrease the temperature more.

I really want to improve my case cooling. As of right now, it has one 120mm fan in the front as intake and 120mm in the rear as exhaust. I want to get 3 140mm fans: 2 for front, 1 for top as I cannot change the one in the back to a 140. The case doesn't support it. My question is: Would there be problems about pressure? I want my case pressure to be as balanced as possible. Any tips?

Yeah and it does seem like it performs closer to NH-D15 too.

Hot damn you read my mind lol Also: G.Skill RipJaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM PC4-25600 DDR4 3200 CL16-18-18-38 1.35V Dual Channel Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GVKB at Amazon.com Would my RAMs block Noctua NH-D15's fans?

I have changed my mind though. I want to start with improving my cooler + airflow. If that doesn't give the results I expect, I might go for delidding.

I was a bit nervous when I started this thread because I was set to delidding. Changing coolers and improving airflow is easy. I'll do that, thanks everyone!

What Noctua cooler would you recommend for a reasonable price?

My cooler is Cooler Master Hyper 212X. I have reapplied paste (Kryonaut). My case is Corsair 270r. One fan in the front, one fan in the back.
