I'm building a new gaming rig featuring the AMD Ryzen 9 9800X3D and I'm seeking advice on the best RAM to pair with it. Here are my specific questions:

  1. Optimal Speed and Latency: What RAM speed should I aim for? I've seen recommendations for DDR5-6000, but is it worth considering higher speeds like DDR5-6400? Also, how important are the timings, specifically between CL30 and CL36?
  2. Capacity Considerations: Is 32GB sufficient for gaming and multitasking, or should I opt for 64GB? What are the advantages of each in terms of performance?
  3. Brand Recommendations: 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!

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

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

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

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.

Anyone use DDR5 8000 RAM?

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.

Try to get some low CL RAM.

Get any DDR5 RAM with 6000 and CL32.

6000 CL30 or CL28, lower is better.
