Hey all!

Can someone explain to me how I can figure out what/how much ram I can get before running into CPU bottleneck (if that's even a thing?)?

I'm assuming, depending on my CPU, I can go overboard with the RAM, waste money on performance I can't reach. Is that a correct assumption?

All purposes of the build aside..

I was wondering what the relationship between RAM and CPU is when it comes to bottlenecking (RAM bottlenecking the CPU or vice versa).

For example, if I were to get Ryzen 6500x, just for example, how much RAM is too much for the CPU? Like, if I were to install 128GB of RAM (32GB x 4), surely that would be more RAM than the CPU requires at a full load. No? So, how much RAM is the perfect amount of RAM for a 5600x?

I hope that makes a bit more sense. I know a high speed, low latency RAM will always be preferred, but I'm more curious about the amount of RAM that is an optimized amount of a specific CPU.

Thanks!
