You're welcome! I'll check out those G.SKILL products. Regarding speed, it really depends on the model—higher speeds mean better performance, but you should also consider CPU compatibility to ensure smooth operation.
I believe focus on the motherboard rather than the CPU. A z series should allow high-speed RAM without needing a k series CPU, though I’d appreciate confirmation from someone else. You might also want to check if manual RAM overclocking is possible. The support page lists up to 3200MHz, but my MSI card shows a maximum of 3600MHz and supports manual selection. I’m unsure if XMP will exceed that number. Generally, higher speeds are preferable, along with lower CAS latency and better timings. Remember, faster speeds also reduce actual latency. For instance, a 3600 CL 18 has the same delay as a 3200 CL 16, but the 3600 offers greater bandwidth.
I visited a computer store today and purchased a G.SKILL Aegis 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz CL16 RAM. The XMP profile didn't activate for me, causing blue screens and error messages about a problem. I believe this is due to my motherboard's maximum voltage being 1.2V while the RAM requires 1.35V—still not a major issue for me. After running the SotTR benchmark, I achieved an average of 81 FPS instead of the expected 62 FPS, which is great. Thanks for your assistance!
It won’t allow manual voltage adjustments; it defaults back to 1.2.
