Can I borrow that crystal ball you use?

Sure but they gave them on sale at Lidl
I prefer the Aldi version, more accurate than Lidl.
Price reductions on Black Friday if you want to wait a bit!
Probably be reduced to a reasonable level however, it ain't bad now as most kits I'm looking at are around £150 now. Might not hurt to wait that bit longer.

I saw a video that benchmarked different ram speeds, 6000 ones are definitely faster (if it's not fake)
I've got corsair 6000 ones myself

Interesting, what do you have this paired with?

Always is... how's the compatibility, boot times etc? Hearing soo much about slow boot and memory issues.

ive not stripped my PC down yet to install it, just waiting for my CPU cooler to arrive first

That's why i said "unless its fake"
who knows

It looks reasonable (and I trust footage a lot more than I trust charts), but I probably wouldn't make big buying decisions based on them.
As with any benches, you need to keep in mind the context of what you're seeing too (e.g. the settings, the bottlenecks), which big reviewers take more care to give you.

Just purchased a kit of G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB 6000MHz CL36 (36-36-36-96).
Checked for full compatibility with Intel and seems to tick all the boxes XMP wise - F5-6000J3636F16GX2-TZ5RK
Now memory is sorted, need to grab a decent board to pair with my 13600K.

5600 seems to be the price/performance sweet spot but 6000 is the sweet spot for AMD 7x CPU's. Intel can use much faster RAM but it’s expensive. Think you would only notice the difference between 4800 and 6000 if you have a high refresh display 144Hz+.
1440p 165Hz with a 4080.
Yes, I believe so, it is the other way around that is more likely to be problematic (EXPO on Intel). Worst case, it should boot at default settings (4800 @ 1.1v) and you can configure it manually.
