I am mulling over an upgrade from my 3700x to a 5600x.

What ram would you buy for a 5600x?

I have no idea what the FCLK's are capable on the 5000 series.

What's the most common FCLK they can achieve?

As for overclocking, I think I just want a set of ram that I can just set a DOCP profile and forget about it.

I had a look at the Patriot Vipers 4400 which look cheap.

But I am afraid that if I do not manage to achieve stability with these sticks I will be left in no mans land with no DOCP profile to fall back on.

What do you reckon?

The cheaper Patriots might even be a better option as they have a second profile for 3866MHz which a 5600x might achieve?

Let me ask a completely different question.

The 8 Pack 3600MHz CL14 ram these aren't just the same as my 8 Pack 3200MHz ram just highly overclocked right?

Also if I by them and keep my 3700x at XMP my RTX 3080 shouldn't cause the ram to overheat right?

I mean my case thermally is meant to be good (Phanteks P400a)

Now I'm thinking maybe the Patriot 4400MHz sticks might be the best shout and sticking with my 3700x.

What are you expecting to gain as you already have decent 8 pack ram ?

Upgrading to a 5600x gonna give you a few more fps at the loss of 2 cores, it's £250 at overcleckockers at the moment.
