I have a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE, so I'm looking for low profile memory as my GSkill Ripjaws DDR4 requires me to shift the front fan up quite a bit. I believe these 2 kits will fit much better. I'm trying to determine which kit is better overall. Do you have any recommendations between the two or anything else? R9 5900X and MSI B550 Gaming Edge Wifi mobo. Thanks in advance.

Those aren't low profile. lol.
I don't think DDR4 has low profile like DDR3 did.

Like these are what is called low profile:

Now going back on topic, i think regular ram are the same height as the redline stiletto.
I however prefer Crucial Ballastix, they had awesome compatability with Ryzens.
Every system i built with them have all been solid, with XMP working flawlessly.


But i don't think they make them anymore, and they will be hard to source.

Corsair Vengance are also about the same height

And Kingston Fury's have always been good to me as well.

In order of what i think are the best

Crucial Ballastix => Corsair > Kingston => Team group = Mushkin.

Thats if we ignore the blingy ones like Gskill, as i think Gskill Trident Z Royal's are probably the best ram period but they are a bit high profile because of how blingy they are.
