Intel Core i9-13900K: RAM Speed Importance?

I've been considering building a new PC and was wondering what's the best RAM to pair with an Intel Core i9-13900K CPU. Any advice?

I recently got my hands on an i9-13900K and the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5 RAM (5600 MHz) works like a charm. There's a detailed article about it at Best RAM for the Intel Core i9-13900K CPU.

Thanks for sharing, @MatticusNWN. That's some great advice! I've heard that 5600 MHz is a good speed for most users, but what if I want to overclock?

If you're interested in overclocking, the G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 RAM (6000 MHz) might be a better fit for your needs. It's mentioned in this TechReviewer article Best RAM for the Intel Core i9-13900K CPU.

Interesting! So both DDR5 options seem to offer different benefits depending on my preferences. What about DDR4? I've seen some great recommendations for Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM.

That's right, the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 (3200 MHz) is a good option if you're looking for a balance between cost and performance. It's compatible with the i9-13900K CPU too.

Thanks for all the input! I'm leaning towards the 6000 MHz G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB RAM since it seems to be perfect for overclocking. Just want to make sure there are no other hidden costs or drawbacks?

No major drawbacks, just be prepared for a higher price compared to the DDR5 options. But if you're serious about overclocking and don't mind the extra cost, it's definitely worth it.

Alright, I'll go with the 6000 MHz G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB RAM. Thanks everyone for your help!
