I'm building a new gaming rig featuring the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and I'm seeking advice on the best RAM to pair with it. What RAM speed should I aim for? Which brands do you recommend for reliability and performance? I've heard good things about G.Skill and Corsair, but I'm open to other suggestions.

I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share!

TIA.

I guess the sweet spot of 9000X3D is still DDR5 6000 CL30.

@stopgaming Love this, should be the best option for a 9800x3d.

Besides G.Skill, Corsair also has 6000 CL28 DDR5 RAM. https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Vengeance-6000MHz-Compatible-Computer/dp/B0DFMPQJLF

DDR5 6400 CL32.

DDR5 8000-8200 performs best. However, DDR5 6000 CL30 offers nearly identical real-world performance while saving $80 through cheaper RAM and motherboard costs. DDR5 6400 CL32 works on select chips but needs 3200MHz UCLK.

RAM at 6000 CL30 offers the best balance of stability and performance. While 6000 CL28 exists, its higher price doesn't justify the minimal performance gain. Success with other speeds and timings is unpredictable, as it heavily depends on your specific motherboard quality and CPU's memory controller (silicon lottery). It's safer to stick with proven configurations than chase marginal improvements with unstable settings.

Lexar has just released DDR5 6000 CL26, says ideal for 9800X3D.

Just go for 6000 CL30 or the new G.Skill CL28. Spend extra money on other things.

Try to get some low CL RAM.

Anyone use DDR5 8000 RAM?

@flake_tom No need for X3D. Just 6000 CL30 is OK.

CL30 6000MHz DDR5 RAM offers the most reliable plug-and-play experience, compatible with all DDR5 CPUs. While DDR5 8000-8200MHz provides higher speeds, it has limited motherboard compatibility and may require manual tuning.

@vene_baam Yes, just get 6000 CL 28 or CL 30.

G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO Royal series.

DDR5 6000 CL28 is the best choice, would be better than 6000 CL30.
