Threadripper / RAM question

I am planning a TR build for Q4 or Q1FY21 and I'm trying to figure out the best RAM config.  I know AMD likes higher clocks on RAM so I am looking at B-die 3600/CL16, but I haven't done much in the way of research for TR RAM considerations.

 

Any recommendations/information on what plays well with TR?  All info is appreciated. Thanks!

a 3600 cl16 kit, or a 3200 cl16/14 should be fine. a cl16-16-16 kit or a cl14 kit is usually b die.

generally very similar, as  said above, 3600 cl16/ 3200 cl14/16 should be good.

Appreciate the response.  I figured it would be similar to their other CPUs but I have some planning time so I wanted to make sure.

 

Thanks for the info!
