Is it worth paying $130 more for +400mhz of ram?

[alex444]

Trying to choose ram and I want to go for 32gig. Will there be a noticeable different between these two sets? This for an amd 39000x build. I know the more expensive one is 3600mhz but that is only 400mhz faster so will I really notice the difference? The main thing I was concerned about was getting cl16. I'm happy to pay extra for the more expensive one if the difference is noticeable though. Also is there anything else that will make the more expensive one better? I'm not the best when it comes to knowing specifics on hardware.

3200 will be fine, I believe with ryzen zen2 tight cl is more important that 400mhx faster.

 

if you are lucky you’ll have a good die like Samsung b die and you’ll be able to OC or manually tinker with timings

What is the use case?

 

For gaming, I've seen suggestions that 3200 ram with IF set to 1800 can recover some performance relative to getting 3600 ram from the start. With the ability to set IF independently from ram speed, this is now possible whereas it wasn't in previous generations.

 

Is there a cheaper 3600C17 or C18 kit for less? Remember the timings are specified in cycles, so higher cycle latency is offset from having higher clocks.

if u meant for gaming, then 3200 is enough, over that it's 4-5% different so .... your choice ... you can check this out :

3600 matters if you are trying to edit a 16k photo in photoshop without having 64gb + of physical ram

Just go with the 3200.   If your going to dump money on fast ram go with Ballistix Elite its better then that turd Gskill
