I planning to build a PC with 9800X3D and upcoming RTX 5080, so which RAM should I get for this build?
For a 9800X3D and RTX 5080, aim for 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000MHz CL30 for a good balance of performance and compatibility.
DDR5-6000 CL30 or DDR5-6400 CL32 would be optimal for the 9800X3D. The sweet spot is right around 6000-6400MHz since the memory controller starts struggling with stability at higher speeds. 32GB (2x16GB) is plenty for gaming and typical workloads.
6000 CL28 or CL30.
DDR5 6000 CL30
