Hi all experts,
I would like to build the system that support Unraid with VMs sever on miTX platform and it should be stable enough to run 24/7 without any issues. My platform consists of
- AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
- ASUS X570 ROG STRIX-I GAMING Motherboard
- AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 GPU
- 64GB of DDR4 ???? (Not make decision yet)
I would like to play safe so my plan is to OC my Unraid sever to its maximum stable limit which should be at 1900MHz FCLK/ 3800MHz MCLK, since at 2000/4000MHz seems pretty rely totally on luck.
But I still have a reluctance on which G.Skill 64GB (2 x 32) DDR4 kit I should base on. And there are only 3 available high capacity DDR4 options from G.Skill 64GB kits
1. G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64GB (2 × 32) DDR4 3600MHz CL16-22-22-42
F4-3600C16D-64GTZN, (G.Skill QVL has my Mobo).

2. G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64GB (2 × 32) DDR4 3800MHz CL18-22-22-42
F4-3800C18D-64GTZN, (G.Skill QVL has my Mobo).

3. G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64GB (2 × 32) DDR4 4000MHz CL18-22-22-42
F4-4000C18D-64GTZN, (No G.Skill QVL).

The email tech support suggested me that the 1st [3600/CL16] option is best. However at Newegg price scalping made this kit out of reach for my budget >$400 while the the 2nd [3800/CL18] & 3rd [4000/CL18] options are still within under $400.
In general I should go for 4000/CL18 because it is in a higher bin than the 3800/CL18. But the problem is my mobo is not in the G.Skill QVL of the 4000/CL18, thus the DOCP profiles might not work on my mobo, so manually tweaking might be needed, in contrast the 3800/CL18 DOCP profiles should work well with my mobo since it's in the QVL.
Could any of you guys please recommend me which one (2nd or 3rd) I should go for, or I should wait for the 1st [3600/CL16] price to come down, since it's a sweet spot for Ryzen 5950X.
Thanks you in advance.
