Hi all, What do you think to these choices for DIY FW13. trying to get a good deal on 2TB NVME while still hitting good speeds, same with RAM. Seems to be the best 32 GB 5600MTs I can find

They should work, but I'm not sure I'd go for maximum performance and "gaming" labelled parts, as these could use a lot of power or produce a lot of heat and might not be very suitable if you want to optimize battery life. Not that I have compared the power usage of these parts to others, more as a general remark.

Your selected memory will only reach the rated speeds with XMP technology, which the Framework doesn't support.

Okay, I only went for 5600mt/s bc that’s what FW would have sent if I have bought from them. What would you recommend that is still equally as performant?

I got the Crucial Laptop memory 5600, but the Kingston you selected is probably still faster. How much faster is probably hard to say, and if it's worth it. I don't know where there is good benchmark data.

Okay, I think I may just order it for now then, To be truthful this was the cheapest 32gb 5600 kit from a reputable brand I could find
