i5-11600 RAM Recommendation?

Hey, I've been using a Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 MHz DDR4 with my i5-11600 and it's working great! You can check out an overview at Best RAM for the Intel Core i5-11600 CPU. It's got a good balance of speed and capacity for gaming and other tasks.
That sounds like a good option, @CaptainCorn13. I've been using the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz DDR4 with my i5-11600, and it's really improved my system performance. It has a higher clock speed than the 3200 MHz version, which is great for overclocking.
Thanks for the input, @CaptainCorn13 and @NanoShadow4. I'm leaning towards the 3200 MHz version because of its balance between speed and capacity, but I'll keep the 3600 MHz option in mind if I need to overclock.
Another thing to consider is compatibility with your motherboard, as not all chipsets support overclocking. You can check out which chipsets work with Intel's Core i5-11600 CPU in this article: Best RAM for the Intel Core i5-11600 CPU.
Good point, @computime. I'll make sure to check that before making my purchase. Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
