Question Looking for RAM for the MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI (DDR4 & DDR5)

[Wolfseye]

Hi guys,

i am thinking of getting the following Mainboard & CPU:

- Intel i7 13700k
- MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI (DDR4 Version or DDR5 Version)

I would love to use either G.Skill Trident Z RGB or Corsair Dominator, each 64 GB.

For the DDR5-Version, i think a 6000er would be fine. 2x32 GB.

For the DDR4-Version I am unsure atm.

I am still undecided which version of this board to get, either DDR4 or DDR5.
Compatiblity List as far as I can see is rather poor when it comes to the Ram clisp I had hoped to use.

Especially a 2x32 GB kit aint easy.

Anyone maybe has this board, and can me tell me a good RAM kit , 2x32 GB.

Any info is appreciated. Thx.

All of these kits are compatible, and for the record, unless you are REALLY needing to spend as little as possible, it makes much more sense to go with DDR5 now that prices have mostly come way down from what they were AND the fact that there will be no more DDR4 platforms going forward. So if you spend money on DDR4 now, that's it. It's the last platform you'll be able to use it with. If you buy DDR5 now, and decide to upgrade in a year or two, you'll likely still be able to use the same memory when you do so.

If you decide to go with the DDR4 version, these are all compatible, and 3600mhz is the fastest speed G.Skill shows as validated to be compatible on that motherboard. Certainly faster modules will work, but you will be taking a chance on a kit that is not validated for the board by the memory manufacturer so might take some trial and error to get a kit that works properly if you do that.

If you REALLY want to look at the Corsair Dominator kits, we can do that too, but I'm telling you upfront you'll pay 50% or more, more, than you will with one of the G.Skill kits and I believe the G.Skill kits to mostly be of higher quality and compatible with a broader range of configurations than the Corsair kits are anyhow.

Thanks @Darkbreeze

I wish the mainboard manufacturer would make the lists that simple when it comes to listing compatible memory, not just a text list which is a pain in the a**** to go through and find the right one.

I would love to ask about the compatiblity of some other things, but I am afraid this aint the topic for it. Where would I post about general hardware combinations for a build ?

Cheers

I'll agree about G.Skill. I've used their ram in every PC I've ever built and never had an issue. Currently running the Trident Z5 Neo 6000mhz 2x 32GB and it's been super stable on my Ryzen build.

Thanks @TravisPNW 😉 , appreciate it.

You can ask anything you want about compatibility with your build here if you want. Or, you can start another thread and PM me with the link to whatever section it's in. I'll be happy to chime in there.

Question - Could you tell me if these things work together ?

Hi guys, I am about to get myself some new Hardware for my a little older system, in which the latest is a RTX 3070 Ti from end of 2022. But everything else is really dated. The last few days I took the time to find some parts that I like, which I want to replace. But some stuff i am just not...
