Hi,
I'm planning on buying a 7800X3D, probably a X670E mb, and 2x16GB of DDR5 6000, hopefully around CL30 (to reach 10ns latency which has always been the sweet spot for price/perf since the first generations of SDRAM). I plan on using my Noctua D15 as cooler, so I assume I will only be able to use "low profile" modules (I mean the standard size with only a small heatsink overhead, max 32mm total).
Where I live (Japan), I have found the GSkill Ripjaws S5 (XMP, CL30) or Flare X5 (EXPO, CL32) to be my best options. Both are currently at about the same price, which one would you take ? Is the EXPO support important for an AMD platform ? Or even worse, is it even relevant, for instance if I ever plan to come back to an Intel platform in the future, and I wouldn't be able to have my DDR5 memory optimized for it ?
