Question Good DDR5 RAM for ASRock X670E PG Lightning Motherboard?

[AntiHypocrite]

Hi ~ I'm hoping to get information about decent (economical) DDR5 that is known to work reliably with an ASRock X670E PG Lightning Motherboard? Thank you for any thoughts about this.

Look at the QVL for RAM on the Asrock site for your MB

Thank you for the reply, but I'm having some trouble trying to find some of their tested RAM.

Do you happen to have any thoughts about clearance issue?

To clarify, I'll be using an air cooler on the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D CPU, so "tall" RAM (with heat sinks on the sides) might be too tall for a CPU air cooler to clear, right?

pretty much all ram has heatsinks these days. for however effective we think they are.



i would just get whichever Corsair is the most midrange speed/price-wise today. That's what i've been doing for the past 20 years and i've never had an issue with compatibility.

$91 https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-T-Create-Overclocking-6000MHz-PC5-48000/dp/B0C4NM8NMC/

$90 (limited time deal) https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Vengeance-6400MHz-CL36-48-48-104-Computer/dp/B0DJW4PKY3/

The Corsair one offers more bandwidth (if you can run it at 6400 MT/s) otherwise it should run fine at 6000 CL32. Only go for the Corsair if you want to tinker with the RAM and try for 6400 (it's not guaranteed).

This is also 6400 but lower latency so better than the Corsair one.

$77 https://www.amazon.com/MEM-2-16G-GSK-F5-6000J3636F16GX2-FX5/dp/B0BN4PPQ16/

Bit slower in latency but by far the best value.

I use T-Force Vulcan 2x16GB 6000 CL30 DDR5 memory with my MSI B650 board. Reasonably priced and works great.
