Recall of ASRock B650M-HDV design Performance and storage details
You own two RAM sets and used both during a 4-5 hour session without any problems. You're unsure which one to keep. The first is G.Skill Flare X 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL30-38-38-96 at 1.35V, and the second is Kingston Fury Beast 2x16GB DDR5 6000MHz KF560C30BBAK2-16. The latter only supports XMP profiles and lacks expo support, but it appears on a QVL listing. Which one performs better? Previously you replaced a Patriot Viper Venom kit with the same brand, which also failed due to BSODs and crashes—so you're considering a fresh upgrade now.
Kingston operates more quickly, Gskill integrates EXPO directly.
I understand the differences between the Fury and Gskill kits—both operate around 1.4V, but the Gskill kit runs at a slightly lower voltage. For extended use, the lower voltage might help preserve battery life, making it more future-proof. Both use similar memory solutions.
If the flare kits match the problems seen with the Trident kits regarding extreme temperatures, then Kingston is the best choice. Otherwise, they’re quite similar unless there are other differences. Assuming both use the same 16GbE die, the main factor remains temperature performance.
