I recently upgraded my system with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and now I'm looking to pair it with the best possible RAM for optimal performance. I've heard that Ryzen CPUs can be quite particular about memory, so I want to make sure I get it right.

For optimal RAM performance, choose DDR4-3600. Lower timings are better, but costlier. 14-14-14 or 14-15-15 are best but expensive. 16-19-19 offers good value, while 18-20-20 is the best value. 18-22-22 is the slowest acceptable option. Balance speed and budget when selecting.

DDR4 3600 CL18 or CL16.

I've had great success with Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz CL16 on my 5700X. It's stable, performs well, and is usually priced competitively. Just make sure your motherboard supports these speeds and enable XMP/DOCP in BIOS to get the advertised performance.

The sweet spot for Ryzen 5000 series is 3600MHz.

If you're looking to squeeze out every bit of performance and don't mind spending extra, consider a 4000MHz kit. The 5700X can handle it, and with some tweaking, you might see some nice gains. Just be prepared for potential stability issues if you're not comfortable with manual tuning.
