RAM upgrade

[Curtis vincent]

Any advice on kits of Ram to go for. Want the fastest but best value for money kit of White/silver DDR5 at least 6000mhz with no more than CL34. I do a lot of gaming but my PC is also for work (3d artist) Currently have 64gb of cheap DDR5 4800mhz CL38 Rest of the system is multiple NVME ssds a custom cooled 12900k and a 4090 for context. I suppose my only other question would be how much benefit would I really get from an upgrade. I do a lot of 3d modelling with high density meshes in Blender, Maya and zbrush. but also want the best performance when gaming. I run the alienware QD oled 3440x1440 ultrawide for context.

G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 (PC5-48000) CL30-40-40-96 1.35V Dual Channel Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3040F16GA2-TZ5RS (Metallic Silver)
Seen this for about 130
or same but twice the capacity for 235

But I'm open to better deals if anyone knows anything​

I don't think it is worth it.

Guru3d did a scaling article here and TPU did one here, for your type of workload (blender), the difference between 4800 and 6000 appears to be less than 1.5%.

Puget's more in-depth article suggests the same conclusion:



I suspect you could easily overclock your cheap DDR5 to at least 5600 by copying the settings of legit 5600 memory, especially if you just do it temporarily for testing purposes.

Overclocking the ram is something I have thought about tbh. Just not very experienced and generally because of my work I tend to favour stability over slightly more performance. but if you reckon that might be possible then no harm giving it a go.
