I'm building a new gaming PC with an Intel Core i7-14700K processor. What is the best RAM to pair with this CPU for optimal performance? Should I go with DDR5 or is DDR4 sufficient? What speeds and capacities do you recommend? Thanks for any advice!
DDR5-6000 CL30 is a good choice.
@easy Now you can get even better DDR5 6000 CL28: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ddr5+6000+cl28+intel&tag=5422-20
DDR5 6400MHz CL32.
@xvvo34 lower CL is better, you can get 6000 CL28 now: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=6000+cl28+intel&tag=5422-20
I would choose DDR5 RAM, and I use GSKILL Trident Z5 RGB series.
some top options:
Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 (5600 MHz):
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 (6000 MHz):
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 (3200 MHz):
Corsair DRR5 memory are great choice for 14700K.
DDR5 is now more recommended than DDR4. For example, G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5.
For DDR4, get 3600 and CL16.
Gskill Trident Z5 DDR5 RAM.
