Hi guys,

I was just wondering what type of ram would work with the with the Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 Cpu cooler? It has to be low profile ram, but which do you think would be the best and cheapest to buy? Im looking for a 1600mhz or 1866mhz ram. I was just wondering what your opinions were.

Thanks!

**UPDATE**
I am planning on building my computer for gaming, and learning how to hack and developing software.

Processor: Amd Fx-9590
Motherboard: AsRock 990Fx Extreme 9
Cpu cooler: ^^ mentioned above in original question
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 120gb
Graphics Card: ASUS Geforce gtx 780 3gb

Also, I was planning on running a linux base operating system, Zorion 8.1.

Once again, Thank you

What is your motherboard?

You want documented ram compatibility. If you should ever have a problem, you want supported ram.
Otherwise, you risk a finger pointing battle between the ram and motherboard support sites, claiming "not my problem".
One place to check is your motherboards web site.
Look for the ram QVL list. It lists all of the ram kits that have been tested with that particular motherboard.
Sometimes the QVL list is not updated after the motherboard is released.
For more current info, go to a ram vendor's web site and access their ram selection configurator.
Enter your motherboard, and you will get a list of compatible ram kits.
While today's motherboards are more tolerant of different ram, it makes sense to buy ram that...

Low profile is fine, all the vendors are good so far as I know.

And... you do need a 64 bit os > windows 7 home premium to support >16gb.
Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
Although, I think the problem has lessened with the newer Intel chipsets. Still,
it is safer to get what you need in one kit.
