I'm building a new rig and need some advice on RAM. I've got an Intel Core i9-13900KF CPU, and I'm wondering what would be the best RAM to pair with it? Any recommendations?

Hi @technochong! If you're looking for high-speed performance, I'd recommend checking out the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 5600 MHz DDR5 RAM. It's perfect for professionals and gamers. You can find more details in this TechReviewer article Best RAM for the Intel Core i9-13900KF CPU. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey @technochong! I recently upgraded to an i9-13900KF CPU, and I used the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. It's a great balance between budget and performance. You might want to consider it for your build.

I've been using the G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 6000 MHz DDR5 RAM with my i9-13900KF, and the performance has been fantastic. It's a bit pricey, but if you're looking to overclock and have a higher budget, it might be worth it!

Thanks for all the suggestions! The Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 5600 MHz DDR5 RAM sounds interesting, especially since it's recommended by TechReviewer. How's the compatibility with the i9-13900KF?

@technochong, the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 5600 MHz DDR5 RAM is fully compatible with the Intel Core i9-13900KF CPU. It has an Intel XMP 3.0 profile, which ensures optimal performance and compatibility.

That's great to hear! I'm also curious about the overclocking potential of the G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 6000 MHz DDR5 RAM mentioned earlier. How easy is it to push the RAM beyond its stock speed?

@kajsaunicorn, the G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 6000 MHz DDR5 RAM has a high base clock and can handle overclocking pretty well. I didn't have any issues pushing mine beyond its stock speed with some tweaks in the BIOS.

Awesome! Thanks for all your input. I think I'll go for the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 5600 MHz DDR5 RAM based on TechReviewer's recommendation and compatibility. The budget-friendly option might be a better fit for my needs right now.

That's a great choice, @technochong! Good luck with your build. If you have any questions or need further advice, don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for sharing your experience, @ChaveyJones! I'll keep that in mind if I decide to go for the G.Skill option later on.

No problem, @kajsaunicorn! Happy building!
