I remember liking Custom Art's Pro330v2 quite a bit back then, nice to see them trying different driver arrangements

I found the Chu kinda dull sounding, lacking in detail if compared to anything else I have, but it doesn't make it any less of a bargain. The tips from the Chu is on my M9 now, and the M9 is still more detailed than the Variations but not by much. Moondrop is getting close to being the best...

I love my refurbed HM Aerron, excellent build quality and comfort.

It's more noticeable indoor and in the night scenes. It looks better with minimal performance hit it seems.

Just finished the SP, it was great. No issue running the actual game with high 100s fps with Raytracing on and everything cranked up (only 1080p) However I am getting the same lag in the cinematics, and a few one off crashes. Now there is a 8GB patch incoming, maybe it will fix it.

This is as close as audiophile snakeoil as you can get with mainstream PC hardware...

I have more or less the same build you are trying to get. Zero problem here with the 3600C16 with the B450 Carbon AC board, even though they are harder to run double sized 16 x 2 GB modules.

OCUK have it at pre order at £499 at the moment. Not sure if the price is placeholder or not but it is more expensive than a FE RTX2070 at £475. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus-radeon-rx-5700-xt-rog-strix-oc-8gb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-43p-as.html

Have you tried the Rift S with games like Beat Saber that require very fast and precise controller tracking? It's my most played game on VR, the tracking speed really matters to me.

I have been running expensive Intel CPU for a while, so gonna see if the budget Ryzen Zen2 3600 really lives up to the hype. Gonna be a fun few years! :)

I have done some further testing as my friend was building a new system. Simply put, there isn't anything wrong with the RAM, either the CPU IMC or motherboard is affecting it. Have swapped to a Ryzen 3600 setup yesterday with the same RAM running XMP without issues now.

It's pretty difficult to pin point the issue. Sadly I don't have a second RAM kit to double check.

I have a Corsair kit: 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz C16 DDR4 (2x16GB) But even the best die might have some faulty one mixed in.

The only issue I can see would be FDB bearing, where it require a certain speed to bring the fluid bearing into the proper operating range. Sleeve and ball bearing life shouldn't be affected by start stop transitions.

I am very grateful with the recommendations that everyone given on the thread, having been out of the loop for such a long time it was very helpful. I think I should RMA my RAM first before toying the idea of the mobo or even the CPU being bad. As everything else is stable other than the ram speed.
