7800X3D 2×24 or 2×32 ram?

Ralf · April 26

I have three options:

G.Skill 2×24 6000MHz 40-48-48 140€

Adata 2×24 6000MHz 30-40-40-76 175€

Kingston 2×32 6000MHz 36-38-38-80 215€

What for ? Only a few use cases need 48GB, even less 64

For speed the Adata 6000CL30 speed is the best, CL40 is real slow

Just gaming. 2×16 Cl30 kit costs 120€, so I thought for 20€ more the 2×24 would be better.

Would higher speed make sense, 6400 CL32?

Ok, 2x24 then

On a 7800X3D it may be hard to get 6400MT, or at "gear 2" only killing the speed, I'd go for the 6000CL30

Then stay at 6000mhz cl30 thats the best for ryzen performance. The 20€ up kit is cl40 which is A LOT slower. So id not get that. 32gb is fine really. 6400mhz requires tuning to get on ryzen and often is slower due to not running in 1 to 1 timing with the memory controller
