I'm gearing up to buy my PC parts on Prime Day, and the one component I'm unsure about is the RAM. I'm looking at a CL30 DDR5-6000 setup. My motherboard is an Asus TUF Plus-WiFi B850. Should I opt for the cheapest options available, which are the Patriot Venom for €185 and the Silicon Power XPOWER for €190? Or is it wiser to spend an extra €40 for a RAM kit that's on the QVL list, like the Corsair Vengeance?

Between the Patriot and the Silicon Power, I'd recommend choosing the one with the lower subtimings if you can. It could make a difference in performance.
Honestly, at those speeds and timings, you're likely dealing with Hynix chips. The specific memory die (like die or m-die) only matters if you're planning on manually overclocking. Just grab the cheapest kit or go for the one that looks best to you.
Thanks! But where do I check the subtimings? Sorry to ask!
