If CL30 6000MHz is the sweet spot for 32gb(2x16) of RAM on AM5 boards. What is it for 64gb(2x32)?

New system and feel I should future-proof somewhat with 64gb. I see many say that 2 sticks of 16gb 30cl 6000mhz ram is the sweet spot for a AM5 32gb kit. Is there a similar consensus on a 64gb kit?

Should be the same?

I had 32gb previously and saw no reason to go above that for my 9800x3d / 4090 build last week.

cl30 6000mhz for 64gb too, if your only gaming / day to day usage save some money and get 32gb instead.

I want to try AI rendering for ASMR videos.

Thanks, I was drinking while reading this and had to clean my keyboard and monitor.

Rude. I use the videos to sleep.

The go to 32GB AM5 kit is G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo: F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR. I have found a CL32 6000 64GB (32 x 2) kit but nothing with the exact same timings.

Why is it considered the best, as opposed to any other cl30 6000mhz kit?

I'm also curious as to why this is preferred to the Corsair CL30 6000MHz with slightly tighter timings. Does it overclock better?

RGB control without needing to install icue is a bonus for most people

On AM5 in particularly there's very little between all the CL30 6000 kits. Overclocking is of limited use, tightening subtimings can get decent latency gains and is most dependant on the chips used rather than a particular brand/bin.

I wouldn't be paying extra for Gskill over Corsair/Kingston/Teamgroup etc.

Replying to you both together. The G.Skill kit is what AMD sampled to all reviews at the Ryzen 7000 series launch. Ever since then it has been the go to choice. However, at that time Corsair didn't have a CL30 equivalent, so you may be onto something @Kirby Wurm. Worth looking at a comparison. Also, the G.Skill kit seems to be on the QVL list of pretty much every motherboard. Not sure if the Corsair kit is.

Thanks for info (and to the others), good to know. Will bear this in mind if I do go to AM5.
