This is a pain... It' pretty hard to pick a RAM for a ThreadRipper build that is - ECC - compatible (so UDIMM and preferably on a HCL of the motherboard) - fast - big enough
Heat spreaders are fine until you fully populate the RAM or the CPU cooler hits these oversized modules with fancy cooling. I prefer more ECC UDIMMs without the need for fancy cooling. Bit-flips are happening more often as you use larger capacity modules and faster speeds. Doesn't matter for games and frequent rebooters. It does affect long term users like me with documents/apps left open and infrequent reboots.

I'll take 10 of the HX432C16FB3K/64 CL16 64GB(kit of 2 32GB) for $33.70. I figure $337.00 is a fair price for 640GB of 3200 CL16 DDR4 ram.no,really? - Friday, January 10, 2020 - link
I'll take a 64GB kit of HX424S15IBK2/64 for my low-power 200 MHz build.The Chill Blueberry - Friday, January 10, 2020 - link

I was wondering the same thing.3200 speed is needed, can't buy it anywhere.

I replaced my Qnap TS-1677XU RAM with ECC UDIMMs without a problem. Even though it's not officially listed.
