I'm planning to build a new system around the AMD 9800X3D and need advice on the best RAM options. I'm looking for 32GB or 64GB kits, ideally with speeds around 6000MHz or 6400MHz. I've heard that using two sticks is better than four for stability. Can anyone recommend specific RAM models that work well with this CPU, especially for overclocking? Any insights on compatibility with motherboards would also be appreciated!
For a 9800X3D, 6000MHz CL30 is a great sweet spot for performance and price. A 32GB or 64GB kit of that spec should work well. If you're aiming higher, 6400MHz CL32 kits (like the Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB) offer excellent performance, but ensure your motherboard supports it.
Any decent DDR5-6000 kit from a reputable brand will work fine. I'm using Crucial's 32GB kit (6000MT/s) with my 9800X3D and haven't had any issues. Just make sure your motherboard is on the RAM's QVL list or vice versa for best compatibility. 32GB is the sweet spot for gaming and general use these days.
The Sweet spot for 9800X3D is DDR5 6000 CL 30. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=DDR5+6000+CL+30&tag=7649-20
