What DDR5 to buy June 14 2023
🕑 Added 2023-06-14 07:12:00 +0000 UTCThe best memory chips are.
Hynix 16Gb A-die: Speeds of 8000Mbps and higher are possible if your CPU/mobo are good enough. Similar timings to 16Gb M-die
Hynix 16Gb M-die: Tends to max out between 7200 and 7600Mbps similar timings to 16Gb A-die
Hynix 24Gb M-die: Even higher clocking than 16Gb A-die. Slightly looser timings
2x16GB ===============================================
Warning if you see a memory kit with a spec like: 6400 36-46-46-100 @ 1.4V it's almost certainly using cut down 24Gb Micron ICs which don't OC very well so don't buy it unless it's really cheap. Corsair seems to have a lot of these high speed loose Micron kits.
TEAMGROUP T-Create Classic 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5600 CL46 Memory (CTCCD532G5600HC46DC01) - PCPartPicker
//should always be Hynix 16Gb A-die. Manually tuning this is way more cost effective than buying high speed (7200+) XMP kits and hoping that they work. Great for both AMD and intel. The stock performance kinda sucks because it's just JEDEC spec.
Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL40 Memory (RFBB5-60C40K2/32) - PCPartPicker
//should be Hynix most of the time but can also be Samsung.
G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (F5-6000J3040F16GX2-RS5K) - PCPartPicker
//Great for Ryzen if you just want to turn on EXPO/XMP(AM5 boards are able to read XMP)
G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL32 Memory (F5-6000J3238F16GX2-FX5) - PCPartPicker
//Great for Ryzen if you just want to turn on EXPO/XMP(AM5 boards are able to read XMP)
PROXMEM KERBEROS 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL38 Memory (PGD5U64A38XX7-K0WC) - PCPartPicker
// Another Hynix based option. Will need an underclock on Ryzen.
OLOy Blade RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL32 Memory (ND5U1660320BRKDE) - PCPartPicker
// Another Hynix based option.
Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (CMK32GX5M2B6000C30) - PCPartPicker
// Another Hynix based option.
Patriot Venom RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6200 CL40 Memory (PVVR532G620C40K) - PCPartPicker
//should be Hynix
GeIL Polaris RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL38 Memory (GOSG532GB6400C38ADC) - PCPartPicker
// Another Hynix option
TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6800 CL34 Memory (FF4D532G6800HC34BDC01) - PCPartPicker
//Highest XMP speed I'd expect to work on all 13th gen chips. A lot of 12th gen won't run it.
I don't recommend 7200 or higher rated kits because the stability is too RNG.
2x24GB ==============================================
G.Skill Ripjaws S5 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5-6000 CL40 Memory (F5-6000J4048F24GX2-RS5K) - PCPartPicker
// Can be 24Gb Micron so don't expect it to overclock much but at least it's not expensive
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5-7200 CL36 Memory (F5-7200J3646F24GX2-TZ5RK) - PCPartPicker
// Has to be Hynix 24Gb M-die. Great for hitting very high mem clocks on intel
2x32GB ===============================================
TEAMGROUP T-Create Classic 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-5600 CL46 Memory (CTCCD564G5600HC46DC01) - PCPartPicker
// Should always be Hynix. So a cost effective option if you overclock it.

// Hynix with a strong profile for both Ryzen and intel
Corsair Vengeance 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6600 CL32 Memory (CMK64GX5M2B6600C32) - PCPartPicker
// strong XMP for intel 13th gen that shouldn't cause stability problems
2x48GB ===============================================
G.Skill Ripjaws S5 96 GB (2 x 48 GB) DDR5-5600 CL40 Memory (F5-5600J4040D48GX2-RS5K) - PCPartPicker
//Should be Hynix 24Gb M-die. Might also be Micron.
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 96 GB (2 x 48 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory (F5-6400J3239F48GX2-TZ5RK) - PCPartPicker
// has to be Hynix 24Gb M-die. Should be a strong overclocker. Might also work at 6000 on Ryzen.
I have 0 experience with quad rank DDR5 setups(4x32 and 4x48GB) and don't recommend them since they put way too much load on the memory controller.

We need an updated 2024 list :D

I got the G.Skill Trident Z RGB 96 GB (2 x 48 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 and a 7950x with the ASUS X670E CREATOR mobo. I’ve been trying to get your timings from your youtube video to work, but it’s kinda not working. Any possibility that you can help me out?

I would like to know too. I have G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO Series (AMD Expo) 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 6000 CL30-40-40-96 1.40V ram. Think I will work my way up 200 mhz at a time.

Do you happen to have some quick n' dirty DDR5 6000 2x 32GB Hynix M primary, secondary, and tertiary settings for AM5? I've seen people try to use the settings that work fine for 2x 16GB but they can never seem to get it stable. I have no idea if its error on their part, bad luck, or if AMD's current memory controller just can't cope with that sort've overclocking with dual ranked DIMM's still. Thanks
