Question Does it really matter...

[SPECOPS70]

Hello all.

I have a gaming rig that I am pretty sure is running xmp advertised ram.

Just noticed it is running the g skill trident z5 5600 xmp dimms.

Yet it is running a 7800xt. the board is an aorus x670e.

Should I get a 32gb set that is advertised as expo or leave it
? everything is running great.

thx

Ideally you buy something faster than 5600 speed. Shoot for at least 6000, with 6400 being the best bang-for-buck wise. Is spending the extra 150 dollars for a new kit worth the extra 4-5% performance improvement? That's a choice you will have to make.

I would leave it, the performance difference is minimal, and its possible you may be able to manually tweak your dimms if you want to pull out every bit of performance available to you. As it stands it seems like you have a very decent system available to you.

Hello!

Actually, DDR5-5600 is great for stability!

For instance, I've bought a QVL EXPO RAM kit from Kingston Fury, which has a DDR5-6400 profile, and a DDR5-6000 profile;
Though I can load any of the 2 profiles and boot into Windows, when I am testing the stability of the system, I get errors in MemTest86!

So, I have loaded the DDR5-6000 profile, but I have lowered the DRAM speed in BIOS at DDR5-5800.
I get no errors with this setting.

And that happens on a high-end build (with firmware up to date):
CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X
Motherboard: ASRock X670E Taichi
PSU: Corsair HX1200i
CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360

CONCLUSION:
The DDR5-6000 "sweetspot" that many YouTubers claim, isn't really true!
It's all about the silicone lottery of your CPU!

As long as everything is running great leave it alone.
