Real world ram speed difference?

[Skeetdogg]

For a ryzen 3600 and b450 gaming plus max im looking at ram. Would there be noticeable differences in going with something like 3200 cl14 like this: https://www.newegg.com/team-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820313712 over something 3200 cl 16 like: https://www.newegg.com/corsair-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820233859 ? Just wondering if differences are purely benchmark vs real world gaming?

there will be a difference, but not enough to justify that price increase. you can find 3600c16 kits for around $85. that will be the best price/performance for you.

A few FPS difference, not worth the cash TBH.

Unfortunately my motherboard doesn't seem to support 3600, only 3200 or 3466.
