[SOLVED] Noob question about DDR5 RAM ?

[Kevin_debruyne]

hi i am buying an MSI Z690-A Pro WiFi motherboard but i can't understand the specification, which says..........

"4x DDR5 memory slots, supporting up to 128GB 1

Supports 1R 4800 MHz (by JEDEC & POR)

Max overclocking frequency:

1DPC 1R Max speed up to 6400+ MHz

1DPC 2R Max speed up to 5400+ MHz

2DPC 1R Max speed up to 4000+ MHz

2DPC 2R Max speed up to 4000+ MHz"

(support intel XMP 3.0 OC )

Now i am confused , what ddr5 ram should i buy to take maximum benefit of overclocking. what if i put single ddr 16gb , how much overlocking can be done, what about two 16gb. i have these options within my budget:

1. Corsair Vengeance (16GBx1) DDR5 5600MHz
2. Adata XPG LANCER RGB (16GBx1) DDR5 6000MHz
3. T-Force Delta RGB 32GB (16GBx2) DDR5 6000MHz
4. Corsair Vengeance 32GB (32GBx1) DDR5 5600MHz
5. RIPJAWS S5 32GB (16GBX2) DDR5 5600MHZ

So if you use only one stick of ram you would be in single channel mode which lowers pc performance. Your motherboard is for higher end cpu's so I would recommend 2x16 6000mhz for best results.
