After 3 long hours of reading in reddit managed to find 3 ram listed in
https://benzhaomin.github.io/bdiefinder/ website
Says these rams are b die and sadly amount of b die sticks so limited in my country


One of them is
G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB 32 GB (2x16) 3600 MHz CL16 F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC DDR4 Ram 300 $

G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2x16) 4000 MHz CL18 F4-4000C18D-32GVK DDR4 Ram around 200 $

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2x16) 3600 MHz CL16 F4-3600C16D-32GTZRC DDR4 Ram around 600$

Which one to pick with my 12600k + msi z690 tomahawk wifi ddr4

Also another question us if I buy a 3600 mhz kit and use xmp profile does it go over 4000mhz?

F4-3600C16D-32GTZN want the kit without C at the end. Timings will be 16-16-16-36.

This would be the correct kit to have, yes.


30 seconds reading at TPU with simple question. Sorry you wasted time at reddit.
That's the RAM I'm using in my 12600K & 13600KF ASRock Z690 Steel Legend WiFi rigs. 64GB (32x2). I also have 4 16GB sticks of it from my retired Asus Z390 Maximus Hero XI/ i9 9900K rig stashed away.

You can get it, 50% chance it runs the XMP profile. That kit has had issues for some people yes.

You need to get REALLY unlucky for RAM to refuse to work on this platform. It must be straight up incompatible (only ECC and wrong DDR generations come to mind) or broken for that to happen. Some have weird XMP issues but it's kinda rare.

I tested a wild spectrum of RAM sticks that are not listed as compatible. About 120 different ones. Not a single one refused to work. Only two had some issues with overclocking but worked fine at JEDEC frequencies.

You will be fine.

If I were You, I'd change the game and get DDR5 board and 32 GB kit (if you not need more or maybe are ok with 16). Spending on "hot" DDR4 these days as DDR5 (up to REASONABLE 6000 - maybe up to 6400! MHz) got WAY cheaper than it was at its market launch (not to confuse with MANUFACTURING or DEVELOPING launch!) is strange thing, same as getting 1080p "ultra mega fast Hz" monitor for pretty modern average performance hardware in reasonable-priced WQHD monitors era.:rolleyes:

I know and understand that 3200.16.20 are CRAP. It's same as JEDEC 3200.22 TBH ("my sense" and opinion, not AIDA numbers lol), but spending on NEW DDR4 kit more than CHEAPEST one is logicless for me.:rolleyes:

yeah but the thing is in my country ddr5 mobo prices are roof top. I barely find a z690 one nearly less then 250 $. I am not even talkin about kits
