BEST MEMORY FOR AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor is the latest iteration of AMD's 3D V-Cache technology. Optimized for gaming, this is one of the processors you'll want to consider when building or upgrading your PC to make the most out of the latest games. It offers outstanding performance for the latest titles, often topping the performance charts. To get the most from it though, you'll want to pair it with quality memory modules.

It isn't always easy choosing the best memory for your needs. Latency, frequency, and capacity are all factors that have to be taken into account to achieve top performance, and then there's the aesthetic aspect – do you want RGB lights? Do you want full control over that lightshow?

An important thing to note from the off is that with the Ryzen 7000 Series processors, AMD has switched over from DDR4 to support the latest generation of memory, namely DDR5. For full specifications of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, visit the AMD website, but the important details as far as memory support is concerned are the following:

How Much RAM do You Need for the 7800X3D?

It all depends on how you use your machine. A gamer looking to play the latest titles at maximum settings won't have the same needs as a videographer shooting in 8K native.

Apart from special cases, most users will limit themselves to 32GB of DDR5 to get the most out of AMD's best processor. This will be sufficient to enable you to perform your most complex tasks or play your games without having to resort to a swap file. If your budget allows you to opt for a 64GB kit, you'll be able to multitask that much easier and cope with whatever the future throws at you as well. If not, a quality 32GB kit will help you get the most out of your new processor.

BEST OVERALL MEMORY FOR 7800X3D: DOMINATOR TITANIUM DDR5 64GB

DOMINATOR TITANIUM is the latest memory from CORSAIR. It offers the frequencies, latencies, and capacities you could want, all with an impressive design. The top bar can be removed and replaced to turn it into a non-RGB version, or if you're looking for a unique look you can 3D print your own top bars.

You can also take full advantage of the memory as it is, especially as the iCUE Software lets you configure the RGB LEDs to your liking for some impressive effects. We recommend you opt for the 64GB kit, consisting of a pair of 32GB strips, with an operating frequency of 6,000MT/s and a CAS latency of 30, to get the best of both worlds.
