Need assistance with a $900 project?
Hello! I'm from Romania and I'm seeking guidance on whether the build I've been researching for a few days is functioning correctly. Specifically, I want to know if there are any compatibility issues or hidden problems—like manufacturing or software-related concerns with Windows 10/11—that I'm not aware of. I'm currently around $200 over my budget, but I remain open to suggestions, though I'd prefer no RGB options. Thank you!

According to this:
and this thing that Chat GPT said:
----------------------------------------
The product code
CMK64GX5M2B5600C40
refers to a specific Corsair
Vengeance LPX
RAM module. Here's how you can break down the code:
CMK
: Indicates that it's part of the
Corsair Vengeance LPX
series.
64G
: Refers to the total capacity, which in this case is
64 GB
(likely in a kit of two 32 GB modules).
X5
: This refers to
DDR5
memory. The "X5" indicates that it's a DDR5 module (since LPX traditionally used DDR4, this is a DDR5 upgrade in the LPX line).
M2
: Denotes a
dual-channel
kit with 2 modules (two sticks of RAM).
B5600
: Refers to the
memory speed
, which is
5600 MHz
.
C40
: Refers to the
CAS latency
of the module, which is
CL40
.
Summary:
This is a
Corsair Vengeance LPX 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5 5600 MHz CL40 memory kit
, designed for high-performance systems, particularly those utilizing DDR5 memory

It seems this is LPX RAM, which could be problematic. Could you please recommend something that is known for not being problematic? I'm looking for 5600 MHz, 32 GB x 2 (64 GB), non RGB preferably, from this list:
https://pg.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B650 PG Lightning/index.asp#MemoryRAP
Do you know if the ASRock B650 PG Lightning allows access to advanced settings in PBO 2 for manual voltage adjustments unrelated to PBO? I'm checking this after seeing a Reddit discussion suggesting otherwise, and I'm also looking for more guidance since no other information seems available.
On pcgarage.ro discovered a compatible RAM module from Ripjaws S5 DDR5-5600 CL36-36-36-89 1.25V 64GB (2x32GB) with Intel XMP support (F5-5600J3636D32GX2-RS5K). It matches the ASRock B650 PG Lightning specifications. The module measures 33 mm in height, while the Phantom Spirit 120 offers a clearance of 37 mm, Dark Rock 4 has 23.15 mm, and ENDORFY Fortis 5 is 19 mm. Based on these clearances, the Dark Rock 4 and ENDORFY Fortis 5 may touch the first RAM stick unless the cooler isn't positioned too close horizontally. Unfortunately, I can't confirm the full dimensions of the motherboard, so I can't verify this definitively. In my setup, I don't have concerns because I plan to use two RAM sticks in this arrangement.
My feedback about LPX was focused on DDR4 and AM4 components. I'm unsure if similar issues exist in DDR5. If it's an EXPO kit, you might not expect any problems. The 5600 CL40 seems quite slow for an AMD setup, while the 6000 CL30 is ideal for AM5 Ryzen systems.
