DDR4 memory question

Hi All,

 

Basically I meant to order 32GB DDR4 3600 but by accident I ordered too fast and accidentally ordered 3200 instead. It's paired with Ryzen 3800XT.

 

Question is, should I send back the 3200 and order 3600 or should I just press on with the 3200? I don't do any content creation just gaming...

 

Advice appreciated.

 

Thank you,

what are the timings for both? But if the 3600 kit is cl18 and the 3200 kit is cl16, they'll perform about the same, if they have the same timings, the performance difference isn't huge.

Oh, lol the 3200 kit is faster in this case. 

Also quote people or mention them ( @Haro ) so they can see your reply.
