depends on the workload, some favor higher bandwidth than latency and some favor latency over bandwidth, if it's just a normal machine for doing light workloads like watching or browsing or just general office work, then it doesn't matter really..

PC: Motherboard: ASUS B550M TUF-Plus, CPU: Ryzen 3 3100, CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34, GPU: GIGABYTE WindForce GTX1650S, RAM: HyperX Fury RGB 2x8GB 3200 CL16, Case, CoolerMaster MB311L ARGB, Boot Drive: 250GB MX500, Game Drive: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD.

 

Peripherals: GK61 (Optical Gateron Red) with Mistel White/Orange keycaps, Logitech G102 (Purple), BitWit Ensemble Grey Deskpad. 

 

Audio: Logitech G432, Moondrop Starfield, Mic: Razer Siren Mini (White).

This is why I love these forums.  3 minutes and the OP already has an answer.

No, you benefit from it in all cases of computing exceeding normal office use, eg videode/encoding, intense computing like boinc or F@H.

Just don’t get a 2666MHz CL22 kit unless you REALLY need ECC memory.
