Asrock z590 oc formula (DDR4 rgb memorys).

Are there any ram memory experts on this board. I don't know for sure what to buy. The G.Skill has a beautiful design. I have a Intel core i5-11400 gen 11. I will get a i9k later. I know i can get higher memorys but i want rgb, the cpu only support 3200.

You absolutely need 64GB?

No in general no. But i wanted to buy more so i don't have to buy more later. It may be program that use more in time.

Gotcha. Well 11th Gen introduced the Gear Ratio for Intel. The IMC for 11th Gen lands anywhere from 3200-3800 MT/s before you need to switch to Gear 2 (2:1 ratio). If you go to Gear 2, the latency is so much worse that until you hit 5000 MT/s, DDR4-3600 (1:1) will perform better.

None K CPUs also have a locked System Agent Voltage which limits higher 1:1 memory configuration even more. Add in dual-rank to the mix and you'll probably top out at 3200, if not lower.
