Maybe I am misunderstanding, looking on AMD web site to understand what RAM I should match to the Ryzen 9 9900 or 9950
As current performance RAM eg Corsair Vengeance is available in 6400 MT/S or 6000 MT/s
Surprised to see in AMD specs that Max RAM speed is lower .. or am I confusing items

CPU details shown here - reads as fastest memory is 5600 MT/s

(can't add picture as forum rejecting FLIKR images)


Motherboard likely to be ASRock Taichi Lite

Whatever ram you pick, make sure you look through the memory QVL for the motherboard, at the very least. If you want to venture beyond the QVL, you should look into ram that has AMD's E.X.P.O advertised on the package r their support site for that particular SKU.

I've personally suggested a Dominator Titanium First Edition for a B650 chipset board and it's been running solid with DDR5-6600MHz.
