CPU Question.

This seems to fit the bill, and a solid brand: https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr5/CP2K64G56C46U5

Ok. I think I got this figured out now.

At true native 5600, CL is 46. Any variation of that is considered overclocked.

Kingston does actually make true 5600 CL 46 memory. It's their ValueRam line and actually costs more than their Fury line. From what I can tell everything else is 4800 and overclocked. If it says 5600 or higher ... it's actually 4800 OC'd.

And that's fine. Every manufacturer now seems to just accept people are going to do it and actually set you up to do it easily.

Also, cas latency isn't what the name implies. The actual latency is calculated by a formula. Here's a link to a calculator. https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/ram-latency

You can get in the weeds with all of this for sure. I absolutely agree with the XMP part, but except for that, if the board supports it and it is a quality brand - you'll be more than fine. Even working in IT and making numerous DAW builds, memory never concerned me.

Here's a link to their native 5600 ram.
