Adjustments could work to achieve the desired performance. A 128GB kit isn't available at those speeds, but using two 32GB kits together is an option, as shown in the link provided.
I'm curious about their upcoming specs, like 5800/5600/5400. What's the price range between 6000 and 5200 like? Also, since they're XMP and not AMD-optimized, do you think they're a good choice for an AMD build?
You're confused about setting the clock speeds and cycles. It doesn't matter if the XMP profile is for Intel; it won't work properly since the settings are meant for 2x32GB, not four sticks.
You'll need to handle the testing and adjustments yourself. Results will differ between CPUs/Motherboards due to variations in silicon and other factors. For example, one person might only achieve DDR5-5200, while another could reach DDR5-5400 or even DDR5-5600 depending on memory timing. This platform is still relatively new (just a few days old) and has a limited number of tested units, so the sample size isn't large enough. Who currently owns a CPU and motherboard in person, aside from reviewers?
I'm sharing this because I really hope the Linus team would conduct proper memory testing and share useful details. I'm curious—would choosing 5600 give me a better chance to get higher clock speeds than 5200 with four sticks? For example, is 5600 more effective than 5200 in that scenario? Also, what's the performance gap between 5200, 5600, and 6000? I don't see many reviews discussing RAM, so why isn't that a common topic?
Lower frequency, fewer modules, and/or increased delay will be simpler for the Integrated Memory Controller (IMC). DDR5-4800 x4 sticks will run better than DDR4-5200 x4 sticks, which in turn will perform better than DDR5-5600 x4 sticks. If timing and voltage remain consistent across all setups, performance gaps are still emerging. As of now, there aren't enough studies or tests... it's too early. EDIT: One review mentioned this: Ryzen 7600X, DDR5-4800 vs DDR5-6000. Note, the timing specs differ. https://www.techspot.com/review/2534-amd...~:text=The default Fabric frequency for
They didn't mention it directly, but they provided the memory kits along with the review samples. When examining the detailed images of the system, you'll notice a G.Skill Trident Z5 kit in use. G.Skill currently offers only four DDR5-6000 CL30 memory kits, with just two available in black—one 32GB and one 64GB.
