This is the vertical height standing in the slot, not the board thickness. Makers write L x W x H, and some call the standing height W. Use the middle number of the three. A size with only two numbers gives length and height, so the smaller is the height. The longest is the module length and the smallest the thickness.

AIDA64 memory test (measured)iAIDA64 Cache and Memory Benchmark results from a reviewer, one row per tested kit and setting. Read, write and copy are in MB/s as AIDA64 prints them, where 1 MB is 1,048,576 bytes. Results depend on the CPU and board, so compare rows from the same CPU only. AIDA64 switches a result of 100 GB/s or more to GB/s, where 1 GB is 1024 MB, so 113.64 GB/s is stored as 116367 MB/s, rounded to a whole MB/s. The printed figure goes in the source note.
