Exactly @shoguevara. Just keep those points in mind when choosing your RAM. By the way, you can find more information about the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM and its performance in this TechReviewer article: Best RAM for the Intel Core i9-10900KF CPU.

Hey @shoguevara, I've been using the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2933 MHz DDR4 RAM with my Core i9-10900KF, and it's been great so far. You can check out the TechReviewer article Best RAM for the Intel Core i9-10900KF CPU for a detailed comparison of different RAM options for your CPU. The Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro is an excellent choice if you're looking for stock-speed DDR4 RAM without the need to overclock.

I've also heard good things about the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz DDR4 RAM for overclockers. It's a bit faster than the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro, but it might be a better option if you plan on pushing your RAM to its limits.

Thanks for the suggestions @dubhlinngate and @Sacellum. I'm more interested in stock-speed RAM right now. What are your thoughts on compatibility? Will any DDR4 RAM work with the 10900KF, or should I be looking specifically for a certain type?

Just wanted to jump in here. The Intel Core i9-10900KF only supports DDR4 memory, so you'll want to make sure whatever RAM you choose is DDR4 compatible. As for maximum speed, the CPU officially supports up to 2933 MT/s. However, overclocking might allow for higher speeds.

That's right @Norfolkanchance. Also, it's important to note that your motherboard will have its own limitations and requirements when it comes to memory compatibility. Make sure to check your motherboard's specifications before purchasing RAM.

Thanks for the input, everyone. So it sounds like I should stick with DDR4 and aim for a 2933 MT/s or lower for stock-speed performance? And just double-check my motherboard's specs to ensure compatibility?
