phubarPersonally I'd rather have some DDR5 6000 with super low timings that runs at 1.3 or 1.4v tops.

kapone32It is a strange world where you can use one of the cheapest AM5 CPUs, with one of the most expensive MBs to do this. 10600 is insane. That is actually almost double what I run my 8600G at.

phubarWhile the clocks are impressive that 1.65v requirement really rubs me the wrong way. I'd expect those DIMMs to require a fan pointed at them all the time because otherwise they're going to get scorching hot. I can't imagine the memory controllers liking that much volts 24/7 either.

Personally I'd rather have some DDR5 6000 with super low timings that runs at 1.3 or 1.4v tops. I'd expect that to more likely work across a broad spectrum of mobos and CPU's while performing quite well for most general purpose tasks. I know some got announced a while ago but I haven't seen it for sale lately.

huggiG.Skill have already got you covered for that. They already announced a DDR5-6000 CL26-36-36-96 kit for both 2x16GB and 2x32GB capacities.

rv8000I run my sticks at 1.54 vdd/1.45 vddq 6400 c28 daily, and outside of stress testing for stability, the sticks barely break 38c after hours of gaming.

rv8000If I had to guess the lower latency kits will only be so-so as stock trfc and trefi will have bad refresh windows. They’ll be better than what is available now, but spending an hour tuning trfc and trefi will give you much better benefits than spending $80 extra on a tighter cl kit.

phubarThem and some other brand announced them a while back sure but you can't buy them yet.


TPU already did some testing with RAM temps and they were getting something much higher than what you were: www.techpowerup.com/review/ddr5-temperature-variable-analysis/2.html.

I've personally seen temps over 60C with mine at 1.48v. And there are plenty of other people online reporting rather high temps when you get DDR5 over 1.4v in general.

Most of the overclockers will tell you to have a fan pointing at the RAM for over 1.4v.


If you turn on EXPO with the low latency CL numbers, or tune further manually, that will give you a OK boost but that is a given. Personally I don't have the patience to tune manually for the 32GB sticks. They tend to be rather touchy in my experience. The 16GB ones are easier from what I've seen.

rv8000I run my sticks at 1.54 vdd/1.45 vddq 6400 c28 daily, and outside of stress testing for stability, the sticks barely break 38c after hours of gaming. All i have for cooling is a singular (center fan) on my nh-d15, setup would probably be fine up to 1.6v but c26 would probably require 1.65+ at 6400 on this kit.

wNotyarDThe cheapest AM5 G-suffix APUs are actually better than the CPUs to do so, they're monolythic instead of chiplets.
It is actually the case in AM4 as well, the IMC on the APUs is superior (or at least just capable of higher frequencies) to the one in the CPUs.
