I'm putting together a new system with an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU and need guidance on choosing the best RAM to pair with it. I want to take full advantage of the Ryzen's performance. What speed RAM works best with Ryzen 9700X? Is low latency or higher frequency more important? Are there compatibility concerns I should be aware of? What's the ideal capacity - 16GB, 32GB or more?

Best RAM for AMD Ryzen 7 9700X ?

DDR5 6000 with CL30 is the best choice.

For the best performance with your Ryzen 7 9700X, aim for RAM that is at least 6000 MHz with low latency (CL30 or lower). G.Skill's offerings are highly recommended due to their reliability and performance. If you need more capacity, consider the Kingsbank option, but ensure it is compatible with your motherboard.
