Which memory should I get?

[ZeusXI]

Im getting a Mini-ITX board that support DDR4, and was wondering what RAM would fit under the ShadowRock LP cooler?

Im sure you can orient the cooler so its not over the ram, but to just be safe, would I need to get low profile RAM? or ram without a heatspreader on it?

either im fine with. the fan would be over the RAM so cooling it wouldnt be such a problem.

 

Any RAM suggestions would be awesome!

2133, 2400, 2666, 2800 are preferred if that helps

I would aim for around 2133 or 2400 and save the rest.

Yea, due to your cooler I thought that was a given

i wasnt sure  thats why i asked  didnt know if there was 2666 or 2800 or 3000 low profile ram or not

Corsair DDR4 LPX is 31mm, Crucial DDR4 ballistix LT is 30mm. Two nice low profile choices.

Corsair LPX would be my recommendation.  I think around 2400 is the sweet spot unless the higher speed RAM just happens to be cheaper, which sometimes it is.  Beyond a certain speed there's no improvement due to increased CAS.
