I'm building a new computer with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and a 5070 GPU. In my current setup, I have a Ryzen 7 5800X using 4x8GB DDR4 RAM running at 3200MHz. I've been reading that DDR5 can have stability issues, especially with four sticks. I want to keep the same aesthetic as my current build with 4 RGB RAM sticks. I'm eyeing the GSkill Trident Z5 Royal CL32 at 6400MHz, and I'm curious if I can achieve a stable system with four of those sticks. My motherboard will be the ROG Strix B850-A.

I’ve had my 7800X3D with Corsair Dominators DDR5 and it’s been mostly solid for me. Just keep an eye on those AMD EXPO profiles; they have a habit of switching off.
You can actually find dummy RGB RAM kits that don’t contain any chips, which would help you maintain the complete aesthetic. This is relevant since four sticks of DDR5 can be tricky to work with!
It’s unlikely you’ll get four sticks to run properly without issues. Consider going for 2 x 16GB and maybe using dummy sticks to keep the look you want. It might save you headaches in the long run.
It really depends on your luck with the silicon and some serious tuning. It’s doable but will require some effort. Check online for guides specifically about tuning DDR5 RAM.
Lol, I get it, chasing that perfect look! But yeah, running four sticks just for mirroring your build might cause more issues than it’s worth.
