I went with Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 MHz and it's been working great! It's also mentioned in a TechReviewer article at Best RAM for the Intel Core i5-13400F CPU.

That's really helpful. Thanks for sharing your experience with it. Also, what's your experience with DDR5? Should I go for it?

I'm personally using DDR4 as it seems to be a bit more budget-friendly, but if you have the extra cash and don't mind the higher voltage, then going with DDR5 might be worth it.

Yeah, I agree with @subinboston. The DDR5 offers better performance, but the cost difference isn't too significant. Plus, the Corsair Vengeance 4800 MHz is a great option for those who want stock-speed DDR5 RAM without the desire to overclock.

I was considering going with G.Skill RipJaws S5 5200 MHz since it has a higher clock speed. Any opinions on this?

I've heard good things about G.Skill, but I haven't personally tried their RAM. It might be worth checking out if you need that extra speed.

Thanks for all the advice! I think I'll start with Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 MHz and see how it goes. If I'm not satisfied, then I might consider upgrading to DDR5 in the future.

Sounds like a solid plan! Good luck with your upgrade, @Reisertiel.
