Help me choose RAM...

[Rhaemond]

I'm getting a Ryzen 5 2600 and I'm looking for RAM to go with it. Here are my choices:

 

Klevv Cras X 3600mhz 18 - 22 - 22 - 42 @1.35V
https://shopee.ph/Klevv-Cras-X-16gb-2x8-3600-Mhz-Ddr4-RGB-Memory-i.77398075.4541940586

PNY XLR8 3200mhz CL16 
https://shopee.ph/PNY-XLR8-16gb-8x2-3200Mhz-Ddr4-RGB-Gaming-Memory-i.77398075.5343848014

DELTA TUF RGB 3200mhz CL16
https://shopee.ph/T-Force-Delta-TUF-WHITE-(2x8gb)-16gb-3200mhz-i.288694232.7643576034

 

My motherboard is a MSI B450 Bazooka Plus... Delta TUF seems to have a lifetime warranty, would that be better than the rest even though it's around 20$ more expensive? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Performance doesn't differ much between manufacturers of RAM, as long as it's the same speed. Just go with whatever's fastest, so long as it's from a reputable manufacturer and doesn't have any well documented issues.

The fastest would be 3600mhz one, correct? But it has a higher CL timing though... Would that be a big deal?

If I remember correct: 3200 CL16 vs 3600 CL18 is about even in terms of performance.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Just checked, yea they seem the same. Would overclocking the 3200 or the 3600 do any better?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Technically anything over 2666 is already overclocked.

 

You can attempt to manually tighten up the timings, but that's not particularly easy and the performance gain is negligible.

 

If you are really trying to squeeze every drop of power you can always go with something like 3600 CL16 but we are talking performance gains of like 0.5-1% here.

Yea was planning to XMP things to even a more higher mhz... 
Anyways, what would be best there?

PNY 3200mhz CL16 = 86.5705USD

Klevv Cras X 3600mhz CL18 = 88.9130USD

Delta TUF 3200 CL16 = 106.247USD

I’d personally go for the 3600MHz kit because generally I’ve found when manually overclocking it’s better to get a higher speed than tighter timings.

"Supports DDR4 Memory, up to 3333+(OC) MHz. Supports ECC UDIMM memory." this is on the website of my motherboard, would that mean going beyond 3333mhz would not make it boot up?

No, it just means that going past 3333mhz is technically an overclock.

So... Should I just get the 3600 and see if it boots? This is also listed under the website:
"Supports 1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667Mhz (by JEDEC)
Supports 2667/ 2800/ 2933/ 3000/ 3066/ 3200/ 3333 MHz (by A-XMP OC MODE)
*In order to support ECC memory, the DIMM slot will be locked at 2400 MHz for more stability.
*Recommend to install Non-ECC memory on A-channel DIMM slot"

Yes, it will 99.999% boot at 3600MHz. If it doesn’t, a small bit of manual tweaking will.

Thank you for clearing that up, sir. People have been telling me that it will be unstable or wtvr, but I'm still planning to XMP to 3600 since it can be selected in my BIOS. Thank you so much! Hopefully my Ryzen 5 2600 will love the 3600mhz
