Hey everyone! I've been having some problems with my PC, like random crashes and frame stutters, after removing two of my four DDR5 RAM sticks. Currently, I have 2x16GB, and I'd like to upgrade by adding 2x32GB sticks. I've read that XMP doesn't work on my setup for some reason, even though my BIOS is up to date. What RAM speeds are ideal to pair with my i9-14900K? Would 6000 CL30 be good, or should I aim for 7000 CL32? Thanks for any advice!

For your setup, I'd recommend going for a 2x32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 RAM kit, like the G.SKILL Trident Z5 or Corsair Dominator. This speed and latency strike a great balance. Just make sure to check if your motherboard has it listed in their QVL for compatibility!
I checked the MSI site, and it looks like your motherboard can handle up to 256GB with speeds up to 7200+ MHz when overclocked. Just be aware that with 2 sticks, you should aim for around 6000 MHz to be safe.
