9800X3D RAM buying guide by Buildzoid

Received my replacement RAM today so back up to speed.

Code: 
G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo EXPO RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C30 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit

Following on the tweaks outlined in the video I've managed to get to the following. I'm seeing latency lower than mine in this thread. Anywhere I need to tweak?

Edit, managed to reduce them further. Dropping tRFC1/2 below 350 results in instability.

So my only issue with memory latency is based on Buildzoids point that working out memory latency varies from run to run and the real world performance difference isn’t too dependent on that figure.

I wish I could remember the video he spoke about it but his videos are often rambly and cover a lot of topics so I tend to work with one in the background and note any important points.

If you do 10 consecutive tests of memory latency, what is the average figure you get over those tests? Ie add the figures all together and divide by 10.
 
Morning guys

Still hunting a mobo right now.

I currently mid build 9800X3D secured and 5070TI.

I’ve only just been made aware that my older DDR4 will not fit a AM5 board so now need new memory.

I know from previous builds too much memory was pointless so maybe that’s changed now? In the past 32GB was plenty but should I be looking at 64GB?

This guide is helpful but still unsure on the sweet spot to go for amount hood to know 6000MHZ is suffice with issue above that speed.

Depends on what you're using your PC for.

32gigs is plenty for gaming but there are other considerations like price.

More capacity usually results in more bandwidth but higher latency but, again, it depends.

Just get 32 or 48 or 64 gigs, depending on your needs.

PS 48gig 6000 MT/S CL30 kits are easier to overclock and are easier on the IMC.
