Discussion Please recommend a good brand of DDR5 RAM

[classic35mm]

I'm considering upgrading the RAM on two desktop tower Windows 11 computers -- from 2 x 8 GB (16 GB total) to 2 x 16 GB (32 GB total).

• The first computer has DDR5-4400MHz (UDIMM) RAM. The processor is Intel Core i7-13700.
• The second computer has DDR5-4800MHz (UDIMM) RAM. The processor is Intel Core i7-12700.

Could you please recommend a good brand of these types of RAM?

G.Skill, Corsair, Teamgroup, Silicone Power and ADATA are all solid in regards to DDR5. If your primary use is gaming then I would look at 2x16GB DDR5 6000 CL30.

Your problem is the brand on the outside of the memory stick is not the important thing. The chips on the sticks all come from a handful of manufactures. Even then it is a extremely complex to figure out at the submodels of chips being used.

The best way to know which memory will work with your machine it to go to the motherboard manufacture site and look for what is called a QVL list.
These are memory configurations they have actually tested. That does not mean other memory kits will not work it just means they were not tested and when you get a older board they do not many times test the newer memory
A very popular ddr5 memory speed is 6000. It tends to be the best value for the money.

What are the motherboards of those two computers? Motherboards set limits to RAM speed and overclocking.

Your response was helpful to me -- thank you!

I never heard of a QVL list -- thank you for educating me! I appreciate it.
