You've outgrown 16GB. Browsers, a DAW, a handful of VMs — your swap file is doing work it shouldn't be. You don't need 128GB. You need a clean, fast bump to 32GB that actually hits the speed your board supports.
This Trident Z5 IS kit gives you 6000 MT/s with symmetrical 36-36-36-96 timings at 1.35V. Two 16GB modules, dual-channel, no RGB to clutter the case. Enable EXPO or XMP 3.0 in your BIOS and you're running at full speed without a single manual tweak.
The IS profile is low-profile enough for compact builds where a tall heatsink would bump into your cooler. Straight in, straight up.
Non-ECC, unbuffered. Plug it in, flip the profile, done
