3600Mhz ram for r5 2600

[TMobile]

Hi there!

 

I've recently been getting some cash together to visually upgrade my pc a bit, and now I got the oppurtunity to get some corsair Vengeance RGB Pro memory (2x 8gb 3600 cl18) for quite cheap.

I currently run a 2600 with an asus b450-f mobo. I was wondering if this would be a wise upgrade, while keeping in mind that I'm planning to upgrade to zen 3 (with new mobo) when it comes out.

 

Feel free to let me know what you think.

 

(according to asus the mobo is capable to up to 3200Mhz with 2nd gen ryzen).

No. It's motherboard speed compatibility doesn't matter a whole lot. What mostly Matters is cpu's capabilities.

How cheap ? Because a 3200 cl 16 kit will perform about the same. How much does a cl16 3600 kit cost?

around 85 EUR

Ryzen may not play nice with with that ram due to the odd timings without manually tuning it.

Id go for the corsair Vengeance RGB Pro memory (2x 8gb 3200 cl16)  personally

You can probably down clock to 3200 and get that latency to cl16. How much does a 3600 cl 16 kit cost ? If the price difference is huge this wouldn't be a bad deal.

3200 is like 5 EUR cheaper. Would I then not miss the point when (if ofcourse) I upgrade to a "4700"?

What cas latency?

Well lower cas latency with lower frequency kit will probably perform better.

You can get CMW16GX4M2D3600C18 for  ~€98, new

It'd be a better deal if it's CMW16GX4M2K3600C16 - they're about €225

3600 kit: CMW16GX4M2D3600C18

3200 kit: CMW16GX4M2C3200C16

 

they're both new, but "I know people"

 

edit: I can get 'm discounted so I don't precisely know the prices

Both will perform identically. Get the cheaper kit.

The two I quoted are both 3600MHz; one of them for €85 isn't that great a deal, the other one is.

are there versions that are not bottom of the bin, but still corsair (icue) and decently priced

corsair's generally overpriced all the way up the stack

This is what i found on pcpp nl

 

corsair has nothing with equal or better specs for less than 200euro

I want to stay below 100EUR,

So you could say go for the cheapest (out of the two i posted earlier) because they perform the same basically?

 if u don't wanna change settings in bios, get the 3600, if you know how to change basic settings in bios or is using the ryzen dram calculator just get the cheaper kit, same thing with different docp profiles.
