Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out the best CPU to pair with my RAM kit. I have a pair of 16GB KLEVV FIT V running at 6000MHz, with timings of CL 28-36-36 at 1.4V. I've been looking into the 7800X3D and noticed it doesn't seem to show much difference in RAM speed due to its 3D cache, whereas the 9700X can be more affected by that. The 9700X is about $15 cheaper than the X3D, so I'm curious about what CPU would work best with my setup!

In general, the CPU isn't limited by the RAM; it's actually the other way around. Any DDR5 CPU should work perfectly fine with your RAM. So, I'd suggest picking a CPU based on your budget and the work you need it for, rather than focusing too much on the RAM specs. Just ensure that the CPU you choose fits well within your overall build!
Got it! By the way, I found that my RAM can run at CL30 with 1.35V. Is that typical for the default XMP profile?
