DDR5-6000 CL30, 32 GB kit (2x16 GB)
The default answer for an AM5 build and the reason is not marketing. 6000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 30 is the point where the memory clock and AMD's internal fabric clock line up one to one, which is worth real frames over a nominally faster kit that breaks that ratio.
- Best for
- Essentially every current Ryzen gaming build.
- Watch out
- Buy one kit of two sticks, not two kits of one. Four sticks on DDR5 forces the memory controller to run slower, which undoes the whole point.
