I am building a new system and am going with the MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk board and 13600k but can't decide between DDR4 or DDR5.
1.) On PCpartpicker putting in DDR5 with 7000mhz speed gives me this message: "The Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-7000 CL34 Memory operating voltage of 1.45 V exceeds the Intel Raptor Lake CPU recommended maximum of 1350 mv+5% (1417.5 mv). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1350 mv voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum."
So does that means the CPU is bottlenecking this RAM at stock? For me the whole point of getting the DDR5 board would be to be able to slot in much faster RAM when it becomes available in the next couple years, but if this CPU or mobo are limiting me to a 6400mhz DDR5 ceiling then I may as well just stick with my 4x8Gb 3600 CL16 DDR4 kit and upgrade to DDR5 in 4 years when I upgrade CPU's again.
2.) Are 6000mhz+ kits stable at this point? I am seeing a lot of complaints about stability and people being unable to run XMP without tweaking. I hate fiddling with RAM so I want it to work out of the box.
3.) Does DDR5 need extra cooling? I keep seeing people mention it needing a fan blowing at it to help keep temps stable. I have 2 140mm intake fans and a NH-D15 that would be blowing past it so if that isn't enough that is a deal breaker too.
4.) Is there anything around the corner in regards to major performance gains that may benefit from DDR5 for software/games I should be aware of? As of now it basically seems like doing massive amounts of compression or gaming at 1080p ultra are the only scenarios that will really benefit from DDR5.
I mostly just want to avoid trapping myself on old hardware if the new stuff is about to become much more utilized. Not planning to upgrade mobo's for at least a few years so I want to make an informed decision.
