Ddr5 4800mhz ?

[Min]

I want to buy 12400f as it sells for good price and is quite decent, but i have ddr5 mobo , 12400f supports up to 4800mhz ddr5 frequency so it's bad, should i buy ram with more frequency, but it only could work with help of bios ? i'm thinking about it but i don't really like idea of editing stuff in bios, or is it no big deal ?

ddr5 is useless for 12400f and ddr5 4800mhz is a giga trash

i agree , 4800 seems bad, but on intel mobo for price of 12400f i can't see anything better

It will work on 6000MHz.
Just the memory controller will be on Gear 2. Not a big deal.

Buy a ddr5 6000mhz cl30. Example, T-Create 32gb 6000mhz cl30

Thanks for answers, will for example 6000mhz gonna run better with 12400f by itself or i gonna need help of bios ?

You just need to enable XMP.
Otherwise, it is a rabit hole.

What the CPU will run up to depends on the motherboard, for instance on the cheapest D5 boards you're limited to 4400~4800 MHz on ~i5s and ~5600 on i7s and i9s

So unless you get a decent board that explicitly doesn't mention limited memory support for the lower ranges, you're not running above 4800 MHz regardless

It's most cost effective and sensible to go with a D4 motherboard and DDR4-3200 for low end systems, DDR5 is only worth it when you can actually run high frequency

Mine is one of the cheapest msi h610m-e but it supports up to 5600mhz, gonna go with that i guess

Difference between 4800mhz and even 7000mhz is minimal, and zero difference at 4k, 1 or 2fps at 1440p and only a few fps at 1080p, Jayztwocents done a video on it a while ago.

get whatever prob go for 5600 or 6000 or whatever is best deal.

in late 2022 i paid £170 for 32GB 6000Mhz corsair is cheaper now.

^ as long as timings are low or proportional, it would be little to no difference

but often with cheap lower speed ram kits, the timings are as high or higher than the faster kits, making them perform much worse in games and ram intensive tasks
