They have life time warranty on those, Trident Z's are the best personally speaking.

corsair rgb pro. much brighter than trident, also you can get fake ram (corsair lightning module)

I like Gskill, two sets still rock solid. I had Corsair Vengeance and Crucial Ballistix go bad on me,

I was just about to recommend my kit if you can find it (it's out of stock in most places now) but seems you don't want G. Skill. 

 

Go on gigabyte's site, check the QVL for the motherboard and pick a kit from that. 

 

It is recommended that you run 4 DIMMs if possible, especially if you plan on overclocking the RAM, on the Z390 AORUS Master. The way they board's "wired" between the memory controller/CPU and the RAM, there's actually more 'noise' in the signal if all DIMMs aren't populated.

Outside of speed and CL they're all the same, made by Sk.hynix, samsung and micron just rebranded. Anyone saying "____ is better than ____"  or "____ is better than most other brands" is misinformed.

And the vast majority of high end/tight timing RAM is specifically Samsung B-Die, regardless of who the "brand" is, Corsair & G.Skill both use the same thing on theirs. So picking a different "brand" won't necessarily make much difference.

Not necessarily, if the kit you already have is not playing well with the board at stock, I'd RMA it or return it and get a different one.

 

I was simply letting you know that on this particular board, it's happier (overclocking ram and cpu wise) with all 4 DIMMs populated, a lot of other boards are the opposite. So if you can get a 4-stick kit, that would be a good idea.
