Will do! Im usually too little butter spread over to much bread so it may take me a week to get to this after I receive the RAM

Did a lot of research on reddit prior to going with the V-color (cause brand, Taiwan just emerging in the states basically) but they have great reviews on reddit for compatibility at 3200mhz, figured if I was going to jump in Im going balls deep, can always down clock lol

Or just tighten up the timings, that works too, I think 2800 is the sweet spot? At least it is for me, but 3000 might be your sweet spot.

Ill go with 2133mhz, straight to 3200, if it takes Ill do results there, if I have to downclock and tighten Ill do results there, cant spend a ton of time on it but will vet it out!

Frankly if the results aren't there between 2133 and 3200, then I think for the sake of argument, those are applicable results. If you've got to downclock or do anything extreme in your bios to achieve results, then I think the point is moot.

But if there is a sweet spot, it would be good to see where it's at.

Personally on my MOBO (MSI B450 Gaming Plus) RAM support, my r5 2600 natively supports up to 2666mhz without an Overclock. 2933mhz is the recommended (which is overclocked. I found that weird.) and it supports way up there. Support for 3000mhz was actually sparse, (and didn't include the 3000mhz ripjaws that I've got, but I've had zero issues.) but it comes back with lots of support on the 3200mhz front.
