155mm but I have this case and I think it can take up to 158mm, 160mm would probably work because it's no TG so you can just squash the…

I got this kit a few weeks ago. It's micron rev e and goes to 3800mhz easy, I haven't tried higher.

Not worth it considering the price of c16 3200mhz. Maybe you get lucky and it's c-die samsung that can overclock to 3600mhz+ but whatever.

You could get a x570 and 3300x if you wanted to upgrade cheaper now then get a 4700x when their prices drop a little.

Yes slightly worse than normal cl16@3200mhz timings, still it does run at XMP 3600mhz which is pretty useful especially for Ryzen.
