Hi, for pairing with 14900K/4090 which RAM would you pick out of the following:

6000MHz, CL30
6600MHz, CL32
7200MHz, CL34

It's Corsair Vengeance (I wanted G.Skill Ripsaws but can't find any in the UK).
MOBO will be MSI MPG Z790 Carbon.

Hmm, interesting. After googling what QVL meant I've found that the only one of the 3 on the official list (https://uk.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z790-CARBON-WIFI/support#mem) is the middle one 6600MHz/CL32, so I guess that's the one to go for?

Yeah or anything else on the QVL list that is more to your liking, I say that because I had another MSI motherboard before and the ram wasn't on the QVL list and I had constant crashes because of it, replaced with one on the QVL list and ran flawlessly :)

You can get most RAM working with a motherboard, QVL as you discovered is just tested working RAM.

Go with the 6600 MT/ Cl 32 RAM, it’ll be really good and you won’t notice much difference between any of the options you were looking at.
