Hello, people!

I'm buying new pc parts, and as you imagine RAM Memory has a LOT of things to consider before buying it. I got a 9900K and a XI Hero Z390.

So, basically I'm trying to go for high speed RAM (if you're interested, my main goal is having high framerates at 1080p).

I'm trying to get 4x8gb sticks (due to the T-Topology of this motherboard) and although it might not be a big problem to buy the exact same 2x8gb kit twice, I've seen it's better to go for the full 4x8 kit to prevent extra compatibility issues (correct me if I'm wrong).

The thing is, there's not a lot of 4x8 kits from what I've seen. I've seen the F4-3866C18Q-32GTZR (by the way I'm going for the Trident Z RGB's only) with out of the box timings of 18-19-19-39-2N and I'd like to know what you think about it or if you have any experience overclocking that exact same kit (might be a shot in the tard but doesn't hurt asking).

I've also thought about the F4-4000C17D-16GTZR with 17-17-17-37 timings although I'd have to buy two 2x8 kits.

The third one I have in mind is the F4-3600C16D-16GTZR with 16-16-16-36-2N timings and, if you have also had any experience overclocking this kit, it would be really appreciated.

I'm open to any other suggestions!

Thanks for reading guys.
