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:
I appreciate any insights or experiences you can share!
Get this: G.Skill DDR5 Trident Z5 Royal NEO DDR5 6000 CL28: https://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Trident-CL28-36-36-96-Desktop-Computer/dp/B0DD2LKVMD?tag=5422-20
@stopgaming None Royal series is also available: https://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Trident-CL28-36-36-96-Desktop-Computer/dp/B0DGRFBN96?tag=5422-20
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.
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.
Try to get some low CL RAM.
Get any DDR5 RAM with 6000 and CL32.
6000 CL30 or CL28, lower is better.
