is it limited to your motherboard or cpu?
i found this ram for 7200 MT/S but like… :eyes: kinda worried about compatibility

Someone else asked a similar question recently, so I did a little research because I wasnt sure myself. Anyway, I guess its 6000 is still the sweetspot for stability on am5 builds. Somthing to do with memory controllers (whatever that is). A lower latency is still the key.

The motherboard can support up to whatever high speed, but the cpus are limited to like 5600, at least that is what the 9600x says. But I use 6000 cl30. Anything higher seems like a waste of money.
