When it comes to finding the
, it's all well and good to start off your search broad, but if you're really zoning in on exactly what you want, then it pays to look into the fine details, or in this case, the best RAM for Ryzen processors.
Some crucial technical information to look for is the RAM Capacity, RAM Speed, Dual Channel or Single Channel, and the CAS latency.
Usually, either 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB, the capacity is how much RAM this kit has in total. This can be either through a single module, in a single channel kit, or through a dual channel kit, which has two RAM modules. The recommended capacity for gaming is 16 GB, while video editing PCs have a recommended capacity of 32 GB or maybe even more.
Each kit should feature a listed speed, this shows how many cycles per second the module can perform. The more cycles the module can perform per second directly translates to how much data can be stored on the module and quickly / efficiently read.
The last crucial information that any buyer should know if they want to maximize the performance, is the CAS latency. The CAS latency is the time taken by the module to start responding to any request it receives. The lower the CL the better, getting a 4,000 MHz kit with a CL of 18 can perform worse than a 3,600 Mhz kit with a CL of 14.
As usual, we've highlighted some of the best deals from our list below, but if you're itching to be first in line to the hottest deals, give
