Hey there,
I ordered a Framework 12 without RAM and SSD. So I will watch out for the components in the near future. (I still have some time until batch 6 will be shipped).
Now I wonder if you can recommend some RAM-modules to use? I’m planing to have a 32GB-module.
Thanks a lot!
One of these is probably good What DRAM/memory is supported by Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series)?
Hm, I just noticed I got one with ‘Limited Validation’ - whatever that means. But it seems to be all bars higher than 16GB.
Also funny how ‘Validation’ stops being capitalised mid-table. 
I got a SB-2130-1TB, same part that I put in my Steam Deck a couple years ago.
According to Intel, the FW12 CPUs can run a DDR5 SODIMM at 5200MT/s. I got a CMSX32GX5M1A5600C48 on sale, but I could have gotten better CAS latency with the 5200MT/s option.
I should have purchased my RAM closer to when my FW12 shows up, but I’ve never had a problem with Corsair and I don’t think I’ll have a problem with a single SODIMM.
Got exactly the 5200MT/s 32GB option. Good to know CAS latency is better. Was just a lucky coincidence. I only learned in the forum that I could have gotten a 5600MT/s and it would have worked. Was just laser focused on 5200 while browsing for modules. Price would have been pretty much the same.
Thanks for the link. Yes, all but the framework-modules seem to be “limited validation”, when looking for bigger modules.
1x64gb crucial module (joking)
probably something low latency and voltage from crucial
While there are report of XMP memory not working properly, I’m less worried about a single SODIMM causing problems. My 5600MT/s kit should happily run at 5200MT/s.
I will share my success/failure 
I’m ordering a stick of Micron Crucial DDR5 Sodimm 5600mts 24gb.
Micron makes stable and reliable ram so I’m sure it will work and 24gb is a decent upgrade from my current PC which has only 8gb of ddr4 and depending on the SSD for Virtual “Swap” Memory.
Edit: Maybe I’ll get 32gb 5200mts for the better latency. It’s just $35 and will probably make a difference considering this is single channel.
Where did you find a 32GB stick for $35?
$35 more. It is like $85
Ah, gotcha.
I’ll think that I go for the Crucial CT48G56C46S5 48 GB. Will be enough and fast enough.
I also saw, the 5200-modules have slightly better CL. (42 vs. 46). Is this significant? As those modules are more expensive, ans I can get 48GB 5600 CL46 for the price of 32GB 5200 CL42.
I would think the difference is marginal?
a) You don’t know what CL those 5600 modules have at 5200, might be the same
b) the difference is almost unmeasurable in high performance machines
c) this is not a high performance laptop, so it will matter even less
Thanks. I will order a cruical 48GB 5600 module then. 
You’re right, the actual latency is probably the same.
So, the stick I ordered is CL48 at 5600MT/s; it takes 48 clock cycles for the RAM to respond to a read command, or about 9ns. The same Corsair stick was available with CL44 at 5200MT/s; so about 9ns.
For productivity tasks it might help, but for the work this little machine will do it won’t matter.
The RAM-module you can order with your FW 12 is DDR5-5600 - 48GB (1 x 48GB) voor 270 euro extra. The Crucial 48 GB that I want to buy looks like has the same specs for ‘only’ almost 95 euro. So, I’ll think that the Crucial won’t be an wrong buy,
I think that Framework won’t offer that 5600 mudels if the performance are very bad, so I won’t be worry.
Here in Europe:
Crucial SO-DIMM 32GB, DDR5-5200, CL42-42-42 (CT32G52C42S5) is ~109 Euros.
Crucial SO-DIMM 48GB, DDR5-5600, CL46-45-45 (CT48G56C46S5) is ~92 Euros.
So somehow the bigger stick is cheaper, probably because of CAS values.
Just FYI:
Crucial SO-DIMM 16GB, DDR5-5600, CL46-45-45 (CT16G56C46S5) is ~35 Euros.
Crucial SO-DIMM 24GB, DDR5-5600, CL46-45-45 (CT24G56C46S5) is ~47 Euros.
As always, prices can change momentarily.
Edit: There is also Corsair, Kingston, Samsung… It just happened that I was looking for prices of Crucial bars.
