What RAM kit to buy

For Star Trek: Infinite, shop matched dual-channel UDIMM kits at 16GB (2x8GB dual-channel) before spending on RGB or extreme CL. Populate the primary dual-channel slots (usually A2/B2) and enable XMP/EXPO so DDR5-6000 CL30 actually trains for Star Trek: Infinite. Reserve 32GB builds for heavy Grand Strategy mod stacks or Clausewitz asset packs on Star Trek: Infinite. Live kits below prefer in-stock DDR4/DDR5 modules that clear the 16GB floor for star-trek-infinite.
