I'm gearing up to buy all my PC parts on Prime Day, but I'm uncertain about which RAM to choose. I'm looking at some CL30 DDR5-6000 options, specifically the Patriot Venom for €185 and the Silicon Power XPOWER for €190. Should I go with one of these cheaper options, or should I spend an extra €40 for the Corsair Vengeance, which is on the QVL list? Is it really worth it? My motherboard is an Asus TUF B850 Plus Wi-Fi.

Between the Patriot and the Silicon Power, just go with whichever has lower subtimings. It really can make a difference even if they are both budget-friendly!
At these speeds and timings, they'll likely have Hynix chips. Just choose the cheapest kit or the one that looks cooler to you, unless you plan to manually overclock, in which case, check the specific chip details!
Where exactly do I check the subtimings, though? Sorry to ask!
