So i am looking to buy a ryzen 5 5600x when they are in stock again. And i am going to need to upgrade from my 2400mhz kit that i have now. Im just wondering if it's worth to go for higher mhz but a bit higher latency. Or a bit slower ram with a little lower latency. What would you say is the best choice?

Didn’t you just post this

Go for 3600mhz CL16

Also do you need RGB?

Out of the three options, the DDR4-3600 CL16-16-16-36 is the better of the bunch.

Would be even better if DDR4-3600 CL14 kit...even DDR4-3200 or DDR4-3400 CL14 is going to be better.

Would you say that the trident z neo kit is bad?

Not necessarily.

Both are DDR4-3600 and CL16, but the secondary timings on the Trident Z RGB is better.

-16-16-16-36 VS -19-19-19-39.

 

The Trident Z RGB with the 16-16-16-16-36 timings uses Samsung B-Die memory chips.

The Trident Z Neo with the 16-19-19-39 timings uses SK Hynix C-Die memory chips.

Samsung B-Die can overclock better, and able to run at lower timings.

E.g. you might be able to lower more from the XMP 16-16-16-36....or might be able to push them to DDR4-3800+ speeds.

 

The difference between the two is small.

If the price difference between them is small, go with the 16-16-16-36 kit running Samsung B-Die memory chips.

Found a trident z neo 16-16-16-36 kit so that's perfect:)
