G.Skill is also a good option. Has CL40 available, costs a lot less than Crucial.

Of note: I was told by support that the 2x16 version of that crucial ram would be compatible with the 16 (so I assume 13 AMD too). Granted it was very much phrased as "this should work" and not a gauruntee but still.
I would stay away from crucial kits for the moment since they raised their prices by like 50% since the last prime day and hasnt dropped them sinceπ, they probably will return to normal on black friday.
Is it better to get a kit or have it included in the diy purchase? Also are there any considerations that need to be made to buy outside party ram?
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.
Kingston FURY SO-DIMM 32 GB DDR5-5600 x2 is good to go in my AMD.
