Hello,

I am checking ram kits for my batch 9 FW13 AMD. So far I was comparing these two:

Kingston KF556S40IBK2-64 I can get for 210,06 €

64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 5600MT/s CL40 FURY Impact Black PnPNumero di parte: KF556S40IBK2-64📷

Non-ECC Unbuffered SODIMM (Kit of 2) 2RX8 40-40-40 1.1V 262-pin 16Gbit

Crucial CT2K32G56C46S5 I can get for 293,55€

DIMM type Unbuffered TechnologyDDR5 Density 64GB Kit (2x32GB) Module quantity 2 Voltage 1.1V/(5V ext) Module type SODIMM Default and performance recovery profiles Default (JEDEC)46-45-45

Do you guys have any other candidates that I should consider over the two mentioned above?

I guess that the Kingston should be better since it has the smaller CL and it is also significantly cheaper so I gues that is the clear winner?

Thanks a lot for your advice

Can anyone help me understand the CAS Latency? It looks like I can go kingston fury with the 40 or the g.skill with 46. About a 20% price difference for 15% difference in CAS speed.

I'm not sure how that latenecy corresponds to performance, I was looking to future proof a little here and go with 64gb, but will the 40 vs 46 CAS Latency make enough difference to spring for that?

Ppl say tady the lower latency can show some benefits from gaming, when sobre lost of the ram is serving the igpu. Feel free to do more research on specifics. If you were not a casual gamer at least, you don't need to worry about cas latency i think.

I plan to use an eGPU for gaming, and I'm just trying to figure out if overbuiliding on ram makes sense or if I should go with 32/48 gb instead of 64 at a better CAS latency.
