3200mhz vs 3600mhz RAM

I am currently looking to get 16GB of RAM. I am debating between: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 & G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16.

 

The Corsair is like $15 cheaper, although it is a little slower. Looking at latency:

16/3200*2000 = 10ns

16/3600*2000 = 8.9 ns

 

Will this even be noticeable? I feel like it won't matter too much, but reading online has convinced me that with Ryzen, this difference can be noticeable. Thoughts?

Nope...  :)

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

I don't think links to 'other tech-tubers' are a bannable offence (they shouldn't be), so try this...

JayzTwoCents actually posted a video about this today. In games i actially mattered. Not much, but it did. I'd recommend to watch it before making any decisions. LTT has videos on this topic too. But 3200MHz is fine for the most part.

TLDW of the videos is: Don't buy 2133 or 2666 because 3000 or 3200 is pretty much the same price and make sure to enable XMP.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Just flipping it from 3200 to 3600 is only a ~2% difference in certain games, mainly shooters, ubisoft titles and mhw.

 

it's noticeable with further fine tuning, no matter which one u buy the stock timings are just ridiculously loose, up to you if you wanna go down that rabbit hole though. I personally would not buy anything thats 3200/16 3600/18 etc since for awhile 3600/16 was only 20dollars more.

It does matter but the difference doesn't make paying the extra 15 dollars 

And with a slight change in soc and dram voltage you can always try going for 3600 with the 3200 kit ;)

Gotta go to sleep now
