DDR5 6000 CL30 OR CL28.

@stamp_de Agree, lower CL is better.

DDR5 6400 is the sweet spot for Ryzen 9000 series.

@good_bad Thanks, I will go for DDR5-6400.

@good_bad DDR5 6000 CL30 is better.

I've been running my 9600X with G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo at 6400MT/s CL30 and it's been a perfect match. With AMD's improved memory controller in the 9000 series, you can finally push those high speeds without stability issues. Definitely noticed smoother 1% lows in games compared to my older 5800X3D setup.

G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MT/s CL30-38-38-96. https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Trident-288-Pin-CL30-38-38-96-F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR/dp/B0BF8FVLSL/?------123456890?6890-20

Love G.Skill.

@veryhotssay So how is this compared for 6000 CL30?

@ZenithZone2 Benchmark tests may reveal the variation, but in real-world usage, you're unlikely to detect any significant change in performance.

Get the DDR5 6000 CL30, brands like G.Skill, Corsair, Lexar.

Totally agree with @good_bad on that 6400MT/s target! Its super exciting to see the memory controller handling higher clocks way more easily this gen. Make sure the FCLK can actually keep up at 2133 or 2200 to really nail that 1:1 sync tho, otherwise youre just leaving free performance on the table lol. If you guys want to deep dive into the subtimings, you really gotta check out the Actually Hardcore Overclocking channel on YouTube... Buildzoid is a total wizard with this stuff and his spreadsheets are literal gold for tuning Ryzen! Seeing the actual latency gains from tightening those secondary timings is just amazing!

For the Ryzen 5 9600X, consider the G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 for performance, or the G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL30 for value. Both are excellent choices.

I'd recommend Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400. Ryzen loves high frequencies, and the 9600X's memory controller handles 6400MHz beautifully. Just pair it with a decent X870 motherboard to ensure compatibility. Running 32GB (2x16GB) myself and it's been rock solid for gaming and productivity.

DDR5 6000 CL26.

6000 CL30 with AMD EXPO.
