Question about jumping from 3200mhz to 3600mhz RAM

Would the difference in speed between 64GB of 3200 mhz and 3600mhz be noticeable? I currently have 32GB's of 3200mhz RAM installed in an X470 mobo for my 3900x, but I'd like to upgrade to 64GB's. If I wanted to upgrade to 3600 mhz RAM, I would need to buy a new mobo as well as new RAM. I'm wondering if I should just buy another two sticks of my current 3200mhz RAM to make 64 GB's and settle on that for now?

 

The motherboard is an X470 Taichi Ultimate.

Noticeable would depend on how much the software you're using even profits from/depends on memory speed, but overall I don't think it's a worthy upgrade. You're probably better of just getting the additional RAM.

No need to change boards, the X470 you have is plenty capable as is.

As for the above, I agree - Grab some extra sticks and you'll be OK.

Unless you're taking a 800+ Mhz leap, It barely matters. The only scenario where I could imagine it to matter is if you were to upload 1 hour long 4k footage where you are in a rush to save yourself from rending a couple of minutes.
