I went with the 16G x 4 Gskill Trident Z5 RGB 4800/6000 CL30.I figure it's a safe/safer OC than things higher.. My ram will run at a higher frequency than 6k. Idk how much higher exactly but I've taken it up to 6400 and it seemed fine but I only did that outa curiosity. I paid $189.99 each for my two packs of the two 16GB z5 Trident z5 modules. Now they're half that. And I waited through a few price Dr drops. But I'm happy with my Raptor Lake MT build. Gskill is a great company! Interesting about the performance drop using the Intel Gskill on AMD. I didn't think the Intel Gskill would work at all on AMD. I just remember reading the "Intel XMP" written on the side of the box for the Intel variant but then there is DDR5 that's compatible with AMD and Intel CPUs just not this. If I would have waited I could have gotten double the DDR5 for the same price now I paid 5-6 mo ago. I did wait through some price drops before I grabbed mine just not enough. 🤣 Happy though!

Here's to hoping DDR6 is a ways away. I doubt DDR5 will stay the standard for as long as DDR4 did but I hope it sticks around at least a few years. 🙏🙏
