    [SOLVED] Hands down best memory for 5950x

    I've read all the topology conversations, dual rank, single rank, etc. and I'm having a difficult time applying it to my purchase. Does anyone know what the very best 64gb kit is for a 5950x? Not concerned with value, just looking for top performance. Dark hero motherboard Thank you.

    [SOLVED] Best ram money can buy for i9 10900k

    [SOLVED] Best ram money can buy for i9 10900k

    2x sticks? So just a 2x32g kit? Because I was looking at 4x16. Also, should I give any thought to 128gb? For example, if I'm video editing and rendering with Sony Vegas 18 with all the workload above is going on in the background.
