Need advice which RAM to buy for Maximus Z690 Extreme & Core-i9 12900K

Hi all. I need an advice on which memory to buy.

I currently have:
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z690 Extreme
Intel Core-i9 12900K
4x16 Patriot DDR5-4800 DDR5 PSD516G480081

Recently one of the memory sticks stopped working, and I want to replace my RAM sticks entirely with new 6400 memory.

Because of my geographic location my options are very limited.

The options that I currently have are:


Kingston FURY Renegade RGB 2x16GB DDR5 6400Mhz KF564C32RSAK2-32 (not in QVL)

Kingston FURY Renegade 2x16GB DDR5 6400Mhz KF564C32RSK2-32

A-Data XPG Caster RGB 2x16GB DDR5 6400 Mhz AX5U6400C4016G-DCCARGY

Team T-Force Delta RGB 2x16GB DDR5 PC5-51200 FF3D532G6400HC40BDC01

Thanks in advance
Regards,
Gedimin

I have this same motherboard, and am running G.skill TridentZ5 DDR5 6000Mhz, but just found a 6400MHz kit on Newegg that I have backordered. This G.skill RAM runs perfectly with XMP 3.0 and I am very happy with it. You might want to give it a try, you won't be sorry.


G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 Intel XMP 3.0 Desktop Memory Model F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5RK

Hello,

I second GSKILL due to the generous amounts of guardband in place. Note that 6400 can require manual tuning so plug and play is not guaranteed. Any tuning issues, feel free to report back
