I'm considering the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor for my next build. What RAM configurations would you suggest to achieve optimal performance? What speed and timings are ideal? Are there any compatibility issues with certain RAM brands or models? How does the choice of RAM impact gaming and productivity tasks on this CPU?
I've been running G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-8000 CL38 with my 285K and it's been incredible.
For the 285K, you'll want DDR5-7200 or faster to really let it shine. I'm using Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB DDR5-7600 and seeing great results in both productivity and gaming. Make sure your motherboard supports these speeds before purchasing though!
