Questions about DDR5

[Yoshiii335]

Hello,

What is the highest frequency DDR5 ram that AM5 supports?

 

[3x0]

6200-6400 depending on the CPU (and maybe motherboard)

To clarify here it's mixture of the CPU and motherboard BIOS (AGESA version). The AMD 7000 series has a very hard time above 6200. You may get lucky with a CPU that can handle 6400.

Some of the motherboards will not work above DDR5-6000. Best to look at the spec sheet. I would say QVL list, but a lot of them are putting 6600 on there. That's just pretty much impossible to run right now.

Thanks everyone,

So is it worth going Intel or AMD fine?

If you want the highest possible memory frequency; that will be Intel 13th Gen with Z790 MB.

Intel is more mature with DDR5.

I noticed that many of the under 500 dollar mb do not support above 4800 DDR5 ram

Go Intel. Just check out the CPU reviews on TPU to see why.

Can you post links to their memory QVL lists?

For AMD? I can see that if you are trying to load up with 128GB (4x32GB), but that isn't the limitation of the motherboard, rather the CPU IMC.

Any particular review to read?

Hello,

Always look at the motherboard manufacturer website for QVL list before buying any board.
The max official support speed is 6600 for 2X16GB Dimms and 6400 with some 4X16GB Dimms

Probably not a good idea to go 32GB per Dimm on this board.

AMD is a better choice IMHO AM5 has a future update path Intel Z690/Z790 is a dead end platform.

There have been a few recent ones. Just have a look at them. They're quite long, so you don't have to read everything, just enough to understand how the Intel's perform. The conclusion and some of the graphs will do.

The one thing I'll say is that the top Intels use a lot of power and run very hot, being difficult to cool.

If you build a new rig and keep it using for the next 3-4 years or so you could also go Intel, you could even use your DDR4 memory if you want.

I can run at 6800mhz cl 32,38,38,102, evrething stable ,but I must increase the voltage at 1.5v and the performance in games are 0% in productivity max 5%.
I keep at 6400MHz CL32, 38,38,102

Must have a golden CPU if 6800 even boots.

I can guarantee that will not be stable, and u will lose performance...

amd am5 platform hides a lot of issues.....
