I'm considering upgrading my Intel Core i9-12900F CPU and need some advice on the best RAM to pair with it. Does anyone have experience or recommendations?
Intel Core i9-12900F & Best RAM Speeds?
Started by faeDavid on July 11, 2024
I recently got an i9-12900F and paired it with Corsair Vengeance 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM, which has been working great for me so far. The TechReviewer article Best RAM for the Intel Core i9-12900F CPU goes into detail about the best RAM speeds to work with the Intel Core i9-12900F CPU.
Thanks for sharing your experience, @abbylanebeetle. That's good to know! I've read some mixed reviews on the 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM. Can you tell me more about its performance?
Sure, @faeDavid. The Corsair Vengeance (4800 MHz version) DDR5 RAM has been fantastic for me. It's really fast and efficient when it comes to gaming and content creation. I even tried overclocking it a bit, and it handled it pretty well.
Yeah, I've noticed that the DDR5 modules provide a significant improvement in performance compared to their DDR4 predecessors. But if you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, you might want to consider Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM. It's still very capable and works great with the i9-12900F CPU.
I appreciate both of your suggestions. @abbylanebeetle and @amsmoviepool, do either of you have any experience with G.Skill RipJaws S5 DDR5 RAM? I've heard it has an even higher clock speed than the Corsair Vengeance 4800 MHz RAM.
I'm also looking for advice on the best RAM to pair with my i9-12900F CPU. I saw @abbylanebeetle mentioned Corsair Vengeance 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM and was curious about it. Has anyone tried that one?
Thanks for joining in, @royalsouvenir. It's interesting to see the different opinions on these RAM modules. The G.Skill RipJaws S5 5200 MHz DDR5 RAM seems like a strong contender as well, especially for those looking to overclock their RAM.
I've been using G.Skill RipJaws S5 5200 MHz DDR5 RAM for a while now, and it's fantastic. The higher clock speed makes a noticeable difference in performance, particularly when running resource-intensive applications. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you're looking for something more powerful than the Corsair Vengeance 4800 MHz DDR5 RAM.
That's great to hear, @amsmoviepool. It seems like both Corsair and G.Skill have some really good options available for pairing with the Intel Core i9-12900F CPU. I think it ultimately comes down to personal preference and budget.
