With VLP ram it is pretty much exclusively ecc as normal consumers have no need for low profile ram.

I'm looking for some very low profile or ultra low profile ddr4 RAM. It must be non ECC and unbuffered. Anyone know where I can find some? 

 

(By VLP I mean like, Crucial ballistic ddr3 VLP so I can do this. http://caspar.panwagen.ee/?p=963)

 

You could technically buy any kit of ram, and use a heat gun to remove the heatspreaders. Just be patient while doing so, and it will go smoothly. Don't worry about potential heat without the spreaders on. I know many hardcore memory overclockers that don't use heatspreaders. As long as you are not fiddling around with your tREFI value, heat won't be an issue at all.

That wouldn't be nearly short enough. Take a look at the link in the first post to get an idea of the formfactor I'm looking for. Too bad VLP is almost all ECC. I found some unbuffered dimms, non ECC from Innodisk, but I can't find where to purchase them.

 

 

 

EDIT

 

Found some Innodisk VLP non ECC UDIMM from next warehouse :) This stuff is so obscure...

I see. Going for an extremely low profile PC? I personally went with a 45mm vapor chamber for my build (ID Cooling IS-VC45), which still allows me to use full size ram. My total clearance is 52mm in my case (going for under 4 liters) but it can keep my delidded 6700k at 76C under 48k FFT AVX2/FMA3 Prime95. Gaming temps never even hit 50C. 

 

Good luck with your build BTW. Love seeing ITX computers.
