RAM SPEED INTEL

[AymanFleyland]

I will buy a i7-14700KF, my question is, what kind of DDR5 RAM Stick should I buy?
Is a 6400mhz CL32 good? Or Should I go with 7200mhz CL34?

Thanks

Yes, this is the speed I generally recommend for 13th gen.

7200 doesn't work reliably on 13th gen CPUs. It's a bit more reliable on 14th gen, but it's not enough of an uplift to the point where I'd recommend it. Besides, the 6400 kit should overclock to 7200+ assuming everything else is capable of it, so I don't really see all that much point in the 7200 rated kits.

Not to mention that you arent getting ripped off and possibly getting a kit that doesnt even run xmp and youd have to tune anyways in which case you may aswell just buy the 6400 kit and manually tune it to 8000+ and fly right past that 7200 xmp kit depending on cpu imc and mobo, though with intel imcs being very inconsistent youll have some fun with overclocking (fun = suffering)

So I should stick with 6400mhz Corsair CL32?

Yes

Brand doesnt matter though so if there are cheaper rams available go for those, same ics after all
