G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB (F4-3600C14D-32GTZRA)
WHY WE CHOSE IT
"Two sticks in A2 and B2, the slots our assembly guide specifies, with the other two left empty. We publish no latency figure for this kit. The RAM calculator on this site will convert 3600 and 14 into nanoseconds if you want the estimate, and the BIOS guide walks tRFC, the DRAM refresh cycle time, along with tFAW and tREFI from there."
32GB in two sticks, DDR4-3600 at 14-14-14-34, 1.45V. The XMP profile is the profile that runs, so the rated number and the number in the machine are the same on this page. Leave XMP off and the sticks sit at their 2133 SPD default at 1.20V, which is where our BIOS guide picks them up.

Component Procurement & Testing FAQs
Crucial advice on buying used enthusiast PC hardware, silicon binning, and thermal maintenance.
Silicon degradation manifests as instability at stock or mild voltages. Test the CPU by running OCCT CPU / Linpack at stock voltage; if errors occur within 10 minutes, the silicon has experienced degradation.
For used graphics cards (especially OEM or previously mined units), check VRAM junction temperatures and inspect HWInfo64 for "PCIe Bus Errors" (WHEA 17/19).
Replacing dried thermal pads and applying PTM7950 to the GPU core restores used hardware to factory thermal performance.
Always check WHEA errors in HWInfo64 and verify voltage stability on second-hand hardware.
