Question Would these RAM sticks serve my needs for both PC gaming and video editing?

[MasterYoda327]

I plan to build a new gaming PC using an AM5 motherboard with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU. I intend to use this PC for both gaming and basic drone video and photo editing (drone is 4K capable). I plan to game at 1440p with a dual monitor setup of 1440p monitors and do video and photo editing which may include basic animation and graphics (not Hollywood level type editing). I did my research, and the following candidates came up:

1. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yX...-ddr5-6000-cl34-memory-ctced564g6000hc34bdc01
2. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FT...-ddr5-6000-cl34-memory-ctcwd564g6000hc34bdc01
3. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Ch...-x-32-gb-ddr5-6000-cl36-memory-pvv564g600c36k

Would the RAM sticks that I have selected work well for both gaming and editing? If no, what other RAM sticks from reputable and reliable brands would you recommend that have heat spreaders or heatsinks, have DOCP and/or EXPO (AMD technology for overclocking), have DDR5, have 6000MT/s memory speed (best value in terms of price-to-performance), have a CAS Latency of 36 or 34 (CL36 or CL34), and have an appropriate amount of RAM?

Thanks in advance.

The first two sticks are identical in terms of specs, the third kit is slightly worse (due to higher First Word Latency and looser timings). You could squeeze out 5-6% more performance going with a faster kit with even tighter timings, but if the extra cost isn't worth it to you these will work fine.

If you're looking for better performance out of the gate to match your shiny new system, this Corsair Vengeance kit would be a good place to start, boasting 6400 speed with less latency than your TeamGroup kits.

CL32 at 6400

Thanks for the advice. However, The Corsair RAM that you recommended appears to work only with Intel XMP and not AMD DOCP or EXPO. I looked at the Corsair website and their Vengeance line up seems to go up only to 6000 memory speed. Would these Corsair Vengeance RAM sticks work for my needs and also work with AMD DOCP or EXPO?

I doubt you are going to be able to tell the difference other than running some memory testing tool.

If you look at the benchmarking sites there are very few actual application that can be used to test difference in memory. A lot of them use something like zip/unzip type of programs. Not sure if video editing really will affected. Having 64gb rather than 32gb makes far more difference.

Yes.

Thanks everyone for all of your input. I think I have my RAM selections sorted out. If I have any further questions, I will update this thread. Thanks again for your help.

Some people have problems with Corsair Vengeance on AM5 systems. Search this forum for examples.

Video apps do not always benefit significantly from faster RAM.

The Corsair RAM that you recommended appears to work only with Intel XMP and not AMD DOCP or EXPO.

I run DOCP on 4 x 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 in an Asus mobo with a 3800X and 2 x 32GB Kingston HyperV in an Asus mobo with a 7950X.

None of my AMD systems have EXPO RAM, so I use the XMP settings when i want to overclock. EXPO is a nice feature, but not absolutely vital.
