RAM for AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, Which one would you recommend?

[Antera]

I am building PC for my kid. Have some spare parts from my old build. Need to get Motherboard, CPU and RAM. I already found CPU and Motherboard but cannot find good RAM. would you recommend anything? Build [pcpartpicker.com]

The one above or this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/w3FKHx/gskill-trident-z-neo-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl16-memory-f4-3600c16d-32gtznc

[Illusion of Progress]

Pretty much agree with the above.

I'd be looking to get 3,600 MHz to near match the Infinity Fabric's common limits for the Zen 2/3 generations, and then with lower timings being better. Timings aren't always flat anymore, so don't fret over having CL18 instead instead CL16 at this speed, and while lower is better if you're looking to min-max, spending up on RAM on the last place to do it (GPU and even CPU first, then RAM), and with a 5600 I don't think that's the place that spend premiums on RAM.

I'm fairly sure (but may be wrong) both of the kits above are the "same thing" using 16-19-19-39 Hynix CJR dies. So the latter is just paying more for the different look and RGB. Fine to go with if that's what you want.

I don't know if it's still the case but I'd generally recommend Ripjaws V as the cheap option over Vengeance (especially LPX) as Corsair historically hasn't played as well with Ryzen, and years ago Corsair was basically changing and sometimes even mixing dies in kits with Vengeance LPX in particular. That might not be an issue anymore though.

I know the Ripjaws V will generally work with Ryzen well even if you use four dual rank DIMMs at 3,600 MHz because both my 3700X and 5800X3D ran that type of configuration and on two different 500 series boards (one B550 and the other X570S). 400 series and older boards might differ since the motherboard and its firmware plays a lot into how well a system handles RAM too.

G-Skill but NOT TRIDENT crap......

The Tomahawk is a decent board. Built a rig for my brother with one.

Ripjaws. I swear by them (I may have bought a few[i.imgur.com]). Never had any issue with them.

32GB might be overkill for a My-First-PC but it's so cheap why not?

Having 3600Mhz actually work is going to depend on the Motherboard some will do it, some won't.

Safe bet is just go with ddr4 3200

Low CAS/CL helps more then the Mhz bandwidth does.

Thnxk all for help, I will go with G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB [pcpartpicker.com]
