RAM and CPU Cooler Recommendations for a New System

[murat guler]

Hello Friends

I'm about to upgrade my system and would like some advice on RAM and a CPU cooler.

The processor will be an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B850M-K

I'm undecided about RAM. I like the Lexar 6400 MHz 16x2: 32 GB RAM...

The price and CAS latency are better than comparable models, and they're being praised in forums and YouTube reviews. However, it's also been reported that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor experiences stability issues with RAM faster than 6000 MHz, making it risky to use 6400 MHz RAM and requiring underclocking. What are your thoughts on this, and what are your experiences and readings? To avoid stability issues, I've considered G.SKILL Ripjaws M5 RGB White Dual DDR5-6000Mhz 32GB (2x16GB)

I also need air cooling for the processor. I'm currently trying to overcome my ignorance on this topic by watching YouTube review videos. Which air cooling system do you recommend for an AM5 socket processor? It's important for the cooler to strike a good balance between noise and effective cooling. I'm not considering liquid cooling because I've had a bad experience with it before.

Thanks

6000mhz C30 is ideal for AM5 as any speed above changes the CPU memory clock ration from 1:1 to 2:1 making it slightly slower until 7200mhz.

CPU cooler the Thermalright peerless assassin or Phantom spirit is all you need and are excellent for the money.

Ratio is easily changed back though, assuming you don't go too far over 6000 and the CPU/board are ok with it.

That stuff is 6400 CL32 though so personally I'd just go with a 6000 CL30 kit as micky mentioned. The X3D chips aren't quite as fussy about higher speed RAM so it'll be totally fine and perform well.

If the price is really good and you have problems there are ways around it, but if the price is similar for other kits there's no point.
