Hey everyone! I'm in the process of building my first gaming PC and recently got a KLEVV FIT V DDR5 RAM kit from someone online. I noticed these RAM sticks are a lot shorter than the usual ones I've seen, measuring 32 mm high. I have a 32GB kit (16GB x2) running at 6000 MT/s. I'm curious if the shorter height will affect performance at all or if it's just a design choice. I'm a bit anxious that I might have made a poor choice. Any insights?

Absolutely! The height of RAM generally doesn't impact performance. As long as the sticks are designed with good heat dispersion, you're good to go. Some low-profile RAM is made to fit under large CPU coolers, which can be tall.
RAM height typically won't affect your performance, it's mainly about fitting in certain cases or under CPU coolers. As for your specs, 6000 MT/s is excellent for gaming and 32GB can handle most tasks without a hitch. Just verify that your motherboard can support the speed and size, and you're all set!
Totally agree! Especially with Asus boards, I've seen a lot of builds fail to POST because the RAM wasn't on the motherboard's QVL. Don't forget to double-check compatibility!
