Question What speed/latency DDR5 with i7 13700k?

[zmihlrad]

Not really sure at all what speed/latency to go with here. I do not need the top of the line most expensive, just a happy medium is plenty.

You could go with a 6000mhz DDR5 with CL 32 timing, something like this that won't break the bank. G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3238F16GX2-TZ5N - Newegg.com

EXPO ram is for AMD systems. All the NEO ddr5 is.

This is a pretty good deal on a 6400 kit.

Why is it for AMD?
Obviously I’m using intel.

Disregard i found the reason.

It works on both platforms. I have 64gb of neo on my Intel board.

Working and made for it are two different things.

If it works then the other dosn't matter.

It does if it's not working optimally. There are a bunch of sub timings that could be off, vs if you were using XMP ram. The same goes for AM5 and using XMP vs EXPO ram. It might work, but not as good as it would with ram designed for it.
