Hello,

I’m struggling to find all the seemingly relevant information regarding the RAM offered by Framework.

I’m in queue for a Framework 13 AMD variant, and I’m stuck weighing up my options for which RAM to purchase.

So far as I can tell, For DDR5 5600 SO-DIMM RAM to be fully utilised you need XMP support for some products on the market. I understand that the firmware on the Framework motherboards don’t support XMP profiles currently. I also understand that the lower the CL rating the better the product is by one metric. I also understand that to fully utilise your RAM you should have two sticks so that dual channel benefits occur.

With this and other information in mind I want to get 1x32gb DDR5, another in the future, That has the lowest CL That natively can reach 5600hz without an XMP profile.

I’m looking at both Framework’s RAM and Kingston Fury.

I can’t find much information on Framework’s RAM.

I recall Kingston FURY needs XMP to be fully utilised with a CL of 40.

Is Framework’s option better in that it doesn’t need an XMP profile to be fully utilised? How does the CL rating compare to Kingston FURY?

Ignoring the price, which is the better product?

Excuse if I have misunderstood anything.

Thank you for your help

Edit: I can’t find a spec sheet for Framework’s RAM options. There website to me was very bare. Does anyone have information on this? Thank you.
