I wanna buy the Intel core i5 14600kf and i was wondering, what the "Up to 5600 MT/s" means, because i only know MHz and on amazon the ram is only labeled with MHz. I also think, that MT/s isn't the same as MHz. An my question is, what ram i can use for the processor?

MT/s means megatransfer per second while MHz/s  means million cycles per seconds. Both methods are used to describe memory speed.

In today memory (DDR) in each clock cycle,  two data transfers are performed. So DDR designation 5600 MT/s means that this memory works at 2800 MHz clock.

Type of memory you can use depends on processor  but also on the motherboard and its chipset capabilities.

Hi, I think you can help me understand something.
I have Asus prime Z690-a, intel i912900kf and Crucial Pro DDR5 6000 MHz 1.1voltage 4x24 GB.
I just can't make ram work at 6000mhz, but with XMP 1 at 4800mhz which is what my processor supported system but fast and stable..
Is that true with this quantity of ram and 4 stick is impossible make ram working over 4800mhz ?
Who understand about this can said what should try to make them run at 6000mhz.
Is worth or like you said on comments better keep memory like that and enjoy what I have.
I have on my brain all time this....I have ram at 6000mhz but I use just at 4800...
And 1 more think pls, is that true 4 stick of ram is tricky make them run but work better then 2 stick.What is advantage to have 4 stick and not 2, or what is advantage have 2 stick and not 4.
Thank you.
