Why would you not want RGB on you ram?
Don't start dawg. It is personal preference. You don't see their computer when you open your eyes in the morning.
I had a GPU that would flash RGB in a circle constantly, it was super annoying when trying to sleep. I had a few too many beers and took a screwdriver to it, with limited success.
Generally, GPUs and RAM kits with RGB LED support your motherboard's RGB control app. You can control them to sync them up (including turning them off). It kinda looks cool as a lot of the cases now have tempered glass. They do look nice when all synced up.
The main thing is most people prefer RGB kit or value RGB kit higher. They sell better (even on the second hand market).
To reduce latency.
Coz?
too heat up your ram even more especially when you have 4 sticks sitting side by side. The only place to dissipate heat is then covered by those glorious RGB.
Yet I yank off my ram's heatsink and slapped on a RGB water block on top, best of both world ;)
How many more FPS did that get you??
To be fair, if you’ve committed to a custom loop, why not go all in and cool your RAM too haha
I had Dual Rank Samsung B-Die and with manual tight timing (4000c14) it doesn't tolerate heat almost at all, it's either I zip tie a fan or put a waterblock on it, and I choose ladder just because I've never used one before, works out very well.
I don't know how many average framerate this boost me, but the frametime consistency is so much better and I don't feel any frame drop whilst heavy gun fights. (no more excuse about computer fps drop)
it’s obviously a ploy by big tech to attract people into buying rgb as opposed to downloading ram straight from the internet
jokes on them ive already filled my 30tb Google drive with ram
Found it in the QVL for Intel boards, but not seeing it being listed for AMD AM5 boards.
6400 CORSAIR 16GB 1Rx8 CMH32GX5M2B6400C36 Ver.3.43.02 SS Spectek B 36-48-48-104 1.4v
Also, the listing indicates it is the white colour kit, so is the product code (which has W at the end). Photo shows the black colour kit though.
Does that mean it wouldn't be supported for an amd mobo build?
I had a really bad experience using a memory kit that's NOT in my motherboard's QVL for my recent AM5 build (basically only works with 1 DIMM, if I want 2 DIMMs to work, every morning, I need to take a DIMM out, boot the PC with 1 DIMM first, then put the second DIMM in and pray). That's not acceptable and lucky I bought the RAM from Amazon AU. Returned it, bought a SK Hynix M die based kit that's in the QVL.
For now, I suggest you stick with your motherboard's QVL for AM5 platform. By the way, for DDR5-6400, be prepared that when you switch it to run DDR5-6400 the very first time, it can take some time to complete the memory training (i.e. 2 minutes).
Thanks for the info, appreciate it
@iDrownFish: Some pointers for AM5 / DDR5:
Get RAM modules in your QVL and best to avoid 4 DIMMs unless the QVL indicates those modules work in 4 DIMMs setup. Get Hynix based RAM modules if possible for AM5 platform.
@netsurfer: Thanks Legend!! I feel bad because you probably went through a lot of pain to find all that out hahha
@booboo: Check various QVL pages, starting from the one for your motherboard (that one actually the most important one). The memory QVLs list the SKU, memory frequency, basic timing, die type, voltage, single sided or double sided, and whether you can use it for 1 DIMM, 2 DIMMs and 4 DIMMs. You will find most motherboard makers not willing to vouch for 4 DIMMs for majority of DDR5 kits.
If your board is AM5 and it is not listed there, and you cannot find the memory module SKU in other AM5 boards QVLs, then you need to look at Intel CPU based boards. However, not seeing the memory kit in QVLs for AM5 boards means it could be unsafe / incompatible for AM5. Also, you may need to remove the last letter if that letter is colour related (i.e. W = White).
Example (where I found the info for this memory module): Memory Support - Z790 AERO G
Download it and search for:

Also, it is known that Spectek B is basically Micron. ChatGPT is tech savvy so he has done all the background work / checks for us.
You made the same mistake I made initially (I had that comment removed). ChatGPT put Micron A-die. It is really annoying both Micron and Hynix have DDR5 A-die.
Spectek B is quite likely Micron A-die.
Whoops. Clearly I should not comment running off of 4 hours sleep 😅
Thanks for correcting me.
I'm after white rgb 32gb ram, just not sure if this is white or black ram?
Title says white kit, but photos are for the black kit
Everything indicates it being white except the photo so I'd assume it is a photo error. But better off checking with them.
good price - but rgb headers mean less clearance for mitx builds :(
Can a i9 12900k run this?
I'm still on a DDR4 system but an occasionally finding myself running short of Ram when editing or saving very large images (I have 32GB @3600 MHz). Even just saving an open image in Photoshop as a jpeg causes a large increase in Ram Usage; with the new JpegXL format it is far worse. I can save a 1GB tiff as JpegXL but a 2TB tiff will result in a crash of the encoding program eg XMView MP.
sounds like you should upgrade to a DDR5 system with 64GB (2x32GB sticks) or 96GB (2x48GB sticks) of ram
I recommend a AMD Ryzen 7500F or 7600 … you can do a drop in upgrade to Zen5 next year for 30% more IPC
Only around $25 more expensive than similar brand DDR4 3200 16 RAM, it's crazy cheap DDR5 now. Even new budget system should get DDR5.
At some point i see DDR5 being cheaper as product lines for DDR4 make the switch to DDR5
For this spec, does CL30 make material difference in performance vs this CL36 ?
Is this better than DDR5 6GHZ CL30 please?

Why would you want RGB on your ram?
