Hi everyone,
Who's running Am5 and G.Skill, anyone?

I'm now searching for decent DDR5 from G.Skill but I'm confused.

The board technical page clearly states the highlighted model is supported

But on G.Skill site it will say suitable for Intel XMP and then goes on and recommend these for EXPO

But the NEO ram with EXPO is nowhere to be seen on the QVL.


A bit of a pickle here... 🤔

Stick with the QVL?

It's compatible.

After a long browse, I decided on the EXPO ram.

Good choice.

I've used Corsair Vengeance for many years, but I started using GSKIL with my 9590 Black Editon CPU because of the 2133 Mhz.  At that time it wasn't available from Corsair.  Now GSKIL is all I have been using in every build I have done since.  I was just reading an article on the DDR5 RAM and Intel CPU's are running it at 10000Mhz.  Sure hope AMD evolves to an architecture to do the same.  The article also stated that testers were able to get this very RAM you chose to run at 6600Mhz.  I would post the link if I could remember where I read it. lol
