[SweetDemise]

Hey guys, im about to buy some new ram for bot gaming and 3d visualisation and i was wondering, which of my 2 options should i go with?

32 gigs 3200mhz cl 16 2 modules or 32 gigs 3600mhz cl 18 4 modules 

Ryzen 2700x 
Aorus b450 pro

Motherboard and cpu are subject to change in the upcoming months.

Thanks for your time in advnace.

2 modules 

Because bandwidth is the same and you'll have room to expand in the future.

And because 3200 cl 16 will perform pretty much the same as 3600 cl 18 in terms of latency.

Ok but what about the "hungry for memory speed" ryzen and that 3733mhz sweetspot? should i even care about it?

It's more like 3600 cl16 as the sweet spot.

Well the sweet spot for zen 2 is 3600 cl16 

Cl18 is a tad slower than cl 16 3600 and will perform around the same as 3200 cl16
