Cl40 just sucks. Drr5 have a long way beating the fastest ddr4. By the time zen4 releases it will mature and be worthy of an upgrade but not today.

well if for no other reason, DDR5 is unobtainium in most countries so if the motherboard you want has a DDR4 version I'd say go DDR4 for sure
sadly not my case and my model is "funnily" the only one not available unlike all the other ones ah ah ah :mad:

not like my DDR5 is here anyway as it's delivery has been pushed back twice already, DDR5 situation is so bad here they just disabled the order button you can't order it anymore, any kit of any brand, the shops that allow customers to still do it are basically scammers they have no delivery date and already hundreds of unfulfilled back orders

anyway thanks for the comparison I at least know if my kit arrives it wont completely suck for games
