3200 C16 vs 3600 C18 (Ryzen 5 5600x)

[Happy774]

So ther have been a lot of debates about how Ram speed and Latency are especialy important for the new Ryzen 500 series. I'd like to know which of the folllowing Rams would preform better and/or if there is a better RGB Ram option on the Market that I might be missing.

 

I am currently looking at:

- Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16

- Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz C18

G-Skill Trident Z Neo?  Both examples above will both perform quite similarly if not the same.

Both will perform near equally, however I’d personally get the 3600MHz.

they have equal latency, the 3600 kit has more bandwidth due to the faster speed. 5000 series Ryzen seems to benefit quite a lot from DDR4 3600 and above, as shown in testing from a few youtubers, so I recommend the 3600 kit.

for Ryzen 5000 you want either 2x dual rank ram or 4x single rank ram for maximum performance. msot of 4gb and 8gb are single and most of 16gb are dual. you will be fine with 2x8 (2xsingle rank) like most people will get
