I wish eVGA would make memory. That being said, I was able to secure DDR5 5600Mhz (non-rgb) ram from corsair directly. It's available right now too, not sure if it would go with your planned build or not. Ships out of Taiwan directly.

I wish Evga would start a queue for DDR5 to go with the z690 boards. The scalper pest has a firm grip on supplies.

That was several weeks ago.....lots available now...I get notify messages several times throughout the day everyday for the past 2 weeks.............scalpers on flea bag a couple of days ago were down to retail prices as theyre trying to unload.....
 I have had daily notifies of availability from Corsair, MemoryC and Newegg

Thank you I was looking at the trident Z5 and nothing was available. Which ones did you get?

Ended up going with the Corsair Vengeance 5600Mhz C36 2x16GB kit x2 which might end up being a blessing in disguise. Low profile ram, no rgb (meaning no software to control it - first evga board so not sure if they're able to control the coloring on ram sticks with their software or not). Probably will end up selling the ram down the road when memory and better timings become available (if ever lol).
 
Only concern now is the whole 4 dimms populated situation where I might have to tweak the ram overclock instead of using the default xmp profile.

4 DIMM Slots n 64G has required getting clock speeds well below XMP....SPD if your lucky, perhaps Classy will handle all slots populate but I doubt it will be any better than Apex / Extreme......
Better off to wait until 2*32G are available if you must have 64G RAM....
 
Dominatar w Samsung kits (5600 c 36) or Dominator with Hynix (6200 c 36 / 6400 c38) have been the best kits for Z690 so far.....GSkill has been hit n miss....
So far iuts looking like Hynix Memory being the best....followed by Samsung (not all).....for example some Samsung on GSkill not so grand....but Samsung on Dominator 5600 kit excellent.....Micron on Dominator (pre 5600 kits) not great.
iCue wouldnt recognize my Dominator kit unless I tweaked a few settings in BIOS...granted Im on an Apex Board.
 
If anyone can get there mitts on Dominator 5600 C36 (easily OC's to 6000 c36), 6200 c 36 or 6400 c38 (both the latter are Hynix), I would recomend those.

Took me weeks to find DDR5 and the modules are sitting now in storage waiting for a new build. Supplies of DDR5 in Europe are getting better but the prices aren't even close to MSRP.

I got the same to get going. Looks like there isn't much difference in the moment in the 4800-6400 range in app tests anyway. 

I'm up and running on the Corsair Vengeance 5600Mhz @ CL36. Just two dimms for now. Works great. Only drawback was my usb drive didn't work so I had to source the drivers on my own since they're not on the site yet (lol). 
 
Edit: Started overclocking, got to 5.1Ghz on the i9-12900k CPU (with OC Robot). The Corsair Vengence 5600Mhz kit runs at 6000Mhz without issue so far. Running benchmarks to validate stability.

I have been running benchmarks with DDR5-6000MHz CL36 vs DDR5-4800MHz CL30.


DDR5-4800MHz CL30 @ 1.10V does vary well for daily usage, will overclock if you want to run higher MHz profiles

Save your money, buy 4800MHz kit you will be fine for daily usage.

Thanks for this! It was very helpful. Decided to only go with 32GB worth of ram for now. Will be looking to replace the ram in the future when timings get tighter. In the meantime, should be fun exploring what kind of overclocking I can achieve with the classy.
 
Here is what I was able to get for my PCMark10 score so far: https://www.3dmark.com/pcm10/71155966 - pretty much in line with what you're getting so that makes me happy with my tinkering so far. Still lots to do!

Good stuff as usual Braegnok...awesome.
 

 
You guys sparked my curiosity running PC Mark...not an exciting Benchmark ;)

It's why I went with a MSI MPG Z690 Edge DDR4 board to go with my i9 12900KF. Even none scalper prices of DDR5's first gen are criminal, then the larger capacity with faster speeds are coming out later. But yeah the scalper prices are horrible adding insult to injury.

Last time I looked a week or so ago scalpers prices were pretty much retail as there is plenty of DDR5 around now....

Depends on what you want, and with the full blown DDR5 around the corner 128-512gb sticks, running well over 6000mhz, the prices of DDR5 right now even the 32gb 4x8 kits is still pretty criminal scalper or retail.

cool! ["...full blown DDR5 around the corner...running well over 6000mhz"]. idk ty
 
wat is the max speed the z690 classified can take advantage of? ty

I know it's early but  has anyone tried 2x32? Also I wish EVGA would publish a list of tested DDR5.
 
Thanks

Dunno what you mean, OP. I'm seeing DDR5 RAM in stock at every single UK online retailer right now. And scalpers are selling low on ebay because they can't get rid of their stock

 
Available right now on Corsair.com 2x16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 6200MHz C36 (link)

Awesome, thanks for the link.
 
Have been waiting for Corsair to release some Extreme OC PMIC 6200MHz kits.
 
I just ordered one kit with free standard shipping $521.94,.. Booked.

Order the 6200 and return the 5600 if possible (but test them first).
 
 
 

Yeah I see the Corsair 6200 / C36 is available on Corsair Canada site....but have my 5600 kit running at 6000.....hhhmmm...wonder if this 6200 kit could OC to 6600 as easily as the 5600 to 6000.....
 
EDIT: @Braegnok....still available on Corsair Canada site..I also have it "booked" ;) Isnt this Dominator 6200 C36 Kit Hynix ?
 
@Nereus thanks also for that link!!!!! Seems when stuff pops up available on the Corsair US site its also available on Corsair Canada Site ;)
