yes, the ram. technically anything over the jedec spec is overclocking.Intel specifies DDR 5600. Is using something faster going to overclock anything?
If you buy RAM with an XMP profile for DDR5 6000 and use the XMP profile, you are not overclocking the RAM.Intel specifies DDR 5600. Is using something faster going to overclock anything?
Thanks. I haven't been interested in overclocking for quite a while. I just want to put something together with high quality stock speed components that doesn't need to be tweaked and fiddled with.If you buy RAM with an XMP profile for DDR5 6000 and use the XMP profile, you are not overclocking the RAM.
However, you are technically overclocking the memory controller. Because the memory controller is rated and set for 5600. Eventually, you have to add extra volage to the memory controller, to keep it stable with some really fast and/or low latency RAM.
Well you are and you are not.If you buy RAM with an XMP profile for DDR5 6000 and use the XMP profile, you are not overclocking the RAM.
A high speed RAM kit shouldn't need any tweaking with a half decent Z790 MB and a 13 series CPU all you need to do is enable one setting in BIOS XMP.Thanks.

G.Skill is one of the top brandsWhat is the reputation of G.Skill these days? They have CAAS 28 DDR5. I remember trying their RAM once a very long time ago and I had stability issues. I switched to Corsair and the issues went away. I have used Corsair ever since, but they don't have much low latency 5600.

For intel 13 series + z790 combo, those 2 kits are belong to low-ish binned one. I'm afraid that kits can't go past 5600 as all you can do is tuning the timings. Usually xmp 5600 are based on micron chip.What is the reputation of G.Skill these days? They have CAAS 28 DDR5. I remember trying their RAM once a very long time ago and I had stability issues.

Probably because your JEDEC profile for the kit is 4800 check with CPU-z on the SPD tab, it will show the profiles with JEDEC being the default.Good question. I am actually wondering why my kit defaults to 4800 when I have a Z790 and a 6000 ram kit? Isn't the default 5600?
It sounds like the JEDEC spec is 4800 at 1.1v, so they all default to that.Good question. I am actually wondering why my kit defaults to 4800 when I have a Z790 and a 6000 ram kit? Isn't the default 5600?
Yes. Those different XMP profiles being listed is exactly what I was looking for.Probably because your JEDEC profile for the kit is 4800 check with CPU-z on the SPD tab, it will show the profiles with JEDEC being the default.
Corsair has fallen behind as far as RAM goes and there is a bunch of brands I would take over them.
G.Skill having MB QVL on there site is great and I love that Kingston shows how many ranks there sticks have and detail the SPD profiles.

Isn't there a c32 7000 kit?Yes. Those different XMP profiles being listed is exactly what I was looking for.
I think I have settled on this G. Skill 6400 CL32. It has the same 10ns latency as the 5600 CL28.

Oh I thought the board and CPU would default it to 5600 since it's raptor lake and z790 but it's the rams default at 4800. That sucks I wish it defaulted to 5600 at 1.1 vs 4800 at 1.1.Probably because your JEDEC profile for the kit is 4800 check with CPU-z on the SPD tab, it will show the profiles with JEDEC being the default.

It looks like they have a 7200 CL34 set. I don't want to spend a hundred dollars more for it though.Isn't there a c32 7000 kit?
For sure. Despite their silly name and very gamer aesthetic, they seem to be who mobo makers like. If you check an ASUS QVL list, it is always just chock full of Gskill kits.G.Skill is one of the top brands
Looks like good value at $149usI think I have settled on this G. Skill 6400 CL32. It has the same 10ns latency as the 5600 CL28.
