We review a TridentZ 5 RGB DDR5 memory kit from G.Skill that is clocked high, 6800 MHz high and alongside that, it checks in at CL34. We look at the DDR5 4800, 6000 and 7200 MHz performance differential on Raptor-Lake, Intels Gen 13th series processors.

The best result I have seen is on a Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX motherboard,6400 even with 4 dimms is possible, AMD says that the sweet spot is 6000 but with the new bios most of them run 6200 without a problem,the ideal is 6400 with fclk at 2166.15999

so the scaling is better w/ ryzen?
i was so set on AMD assertion of 6000 that it was my target for a few months leading up to me buying a G.Skill Flare kit @6000.
i was going to go lower as i heard about the scaling difficulties w/ ddr 5 but in my market 5800 was either the same price or more expensive (idk why). i prefer 4 sticks of RAM 'cuz productivity (currently only 2 stix) and gaming and i bought the matx TUF B650 for that reason (also avoiding the early ITX adoption tax). 6400 is still a bit rich as i'm targeting the 7900X3D and i haven't seen any w/o rgb bling-o-rama yet.
but i will eye that Gig Aorus Elite AX for my work rig that i'm building later this year.
