Uncertain about the RAM choice, aiming for 32GB with around 6000Mhz. The difference between CL36 and CL30 is minimal and unlikely to justify extra cost. Consider brand reliability or performance needs. Your CPU is Ryzen 7500F and motherboard is ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 D5. Build details available here: https://buildapc.gg/us/build/lgZSg

6000Mhz CL30 offers optimal performance, while CL36 lags slightly. In practice, the distinction is minimal—typically just 1-4 fps for the CL30, especially with a powerful GPU.

The cost variation is minimal, typically around $5 at most, and sometimes the CL30 package is actually more affordable. For compatibility, I’d choose CL30 even if it’s cheaper, as manufacturers often prioritize it first, and the performance gains are worthwhile. https://www.newegg.com/patriot-32gb-ddr5...6820225334 In the US market, purchasing a CL30 kit is generally less expensive than a CL36 kit. It doesn’t matter much since the components are largely interchangeable.
