Top RAM options for MSI Z690-A Pro motherboard
Hello, your RAM failed, so you're looking for the best fit. For a 12700k on an MSI Z690-A Pro, the optimal speed is around 14GHz. The C14 3600Mhz kits are budget-friendly, but the C16 3600Mhz offers better performance. It's worth considering if you need a noticeable boost. Let me know!
The gap in performance between CL14 and CL16 at 3600MT/s is barely noticeable under normal conditions. It also tends to come with a higher price, though that’s up to your choice. I own the same motherboard and, without any specific reason, purchased two 2x16GB kits—one CL16 and one CL18. Both work well at the CL16 speed (20-20-39) using the RAM kit at lower timings.
