Thanks you very much. Had this misunderstanding a long time now. Thanks!!

I'm buying myself some stuff for a new system. I already purchased 32GB of G.Skill DIMM DDR4-3600 Quad-Kit ram. The problem that I now ran into is that I am not sure if the motherboard Im planing on buying (Asus TUF gaming X570 Plus) supporty 3600 mHz ram. If I look under supported rams it is not listed there. I know that this is a high end motherboard designed for the new ryzen 3000 models, which are heavily influenced by ram speeds, latency, etc., and that people used 3600 rams for benchmarks, but I'm not sure if this will work for me? Is this just saying that this is the ram standards that asus tested or does it say it's most likely not going to work? I'm confused. The CPU is a ryzen 3900x of that helps with anything. Thanks for your help.

Well, if I would be to keep my old memory, I'd still need to get a new mobo considering that I wanted to upgrade to the 3900x? Or am I mistaken here? From what I have heard the 3000 series doesn't seem to perform as good with old Mainboard chipsets.

Ok, I looked it up and, in fact, because of my mobo, I can't go above 2666. Now that I will need to buy a new one, I thought I'd go with the MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE. It reduces me by 2 sata slots, but that's fine. Also, I'm going to go with 32gb of 3600. Not only is it cheaper, but I rarely use all 64 gigs, except for flexing honestly. (I only bought that much because it was on a pretty heavy sale atm anyway) Anything wrong with that (in combination with the new cpu and my ram)?

OH sorry. I meant to say 3900x

Hey, I've been watching LTT videos for quite some time, but never bothered to sign up in the forum. Until now. This is because I'm currently upgrading my pc. My current rig (the parts that are going to matter here) consist of: [CPU] AMD Ryzen 1800x (base clock) [Mainboard] Asus Crosshair VI Hero [RAM] Corsair dominator platinum 64GB DDR4-2666 Now, since I just got some money from my employer, I wanted to upgrade my CPU and, with that, the ram to the following: [CPU] AMD ryzen 9 3900x [RAM] G.Skill 32 GB DDR4-3600 QUESTION: I am now asking myself weather 64GB-3200 or 32GB-3600 performs better with the new generation of ryzen cores. This counts for both, heavy workloads, such as Adobe Photoshop/Premiere Pro/etc., and for RAM/CPU heavy games, such as Arma3. Personally, I would go with 32GB of 3600, but since I'm not sure, I'm asking here.
