You're planning to upgrade your older machine with a new system and are considering RAM specs. You're looking for 64 GB of DDR5 at 6000 CL36, but you've noticed that achieving those speeds with just four sticks isn't feasible on newer models. It seems the availability of such kits is limited, though there might be options available. If you're facing challenges getting the desired performance with two sticks, it's worth exploring whether a higher-end chipset could help improve results compared to previous generations.
Current configurations favor DDR5, reaching peak speeds near 6400-6600MT/s on many Z790 boards. Issues may arise if you purchase two 2x16GB packages, as memory ICs can vary (like 6000CL36 with Samsung or Hynix), making compatibility uncertain. Avoiding dual 2x16GB setups is advisable unless ordering them together, which still carries a risk but is relatively low. The safest bet is to reach 6400MT/s or higher, ensuring Hynix M die support, though XMP settings might not function optimally. Alder Lake’s dual-rank memory performance has been inconsistent, especially at 6000MT/s with 64GB RAM, and only a few optimized kits for Raptor Lake have been released recently.
