The recommended RAM speed for an i7-12700 system is 4800 MHz for DDR5 RAM, like the Corsair Vengeance. There's also a great article about it at Best RAM for the Intel Core i7-12700 CPU

That's interesting! So, I should go with DDR5? And what are the advantages of DDR5 over DDR4?

Yes, definitely. The DDR5 has higher speeds and lower latency compared to DDR4, making your system more efficient and faster. Plus, it's compatible with the i7-12700 CPU.

I've also heard that overclocking can be done on DDR4 RAM for even better performance. Is that true?

That's right! With a capacity of 3600 MHz, you can overclock your DDR4 RAM to get an edge over stock-speed DDR5.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience with the Corsair Vengeance DDR5. It has been running smoothly on my i7-12700 system for months now. I'm really happy with its performance!

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience, @Nullcrass. I'll probably go with the Corsair Vengeance DDR5 then.
