Confused about ram for the i5-13600K? We've got answers! In this video we've tested DDR4 and DDR5 across a range of speeds and timings to work out where you should spend your money.
TL;DR: DDR4 3600Mhz CL16 is fine if money is tight (but consider more cost effective CPUs in that case)
DDR4-4000MHz+ OC RAM is super high performance, but tricky to set up right. But there are some bargains right now!
DDR5-5600MHZ Cl36+ is where most user will get best benefit.
Check out our testing to understand why we reach these conclusions.
