so i recently upgraded to a ryzen 5900x which is paired with 64GB 4x16GB 3200Mhz CL16 ram ( I know 64GB is overkill for most thing) and i was doing some more reading and quite a lot of people suggest going with 3600Mhz ram so i was wondering would it be worth the Hassel of return the ram and buying 3600mhz ram to replace it or is the difference in performance not worth the effort 

thanks

Not worth it in my opinion. I will likely keep my 32 GB 3200 as well when I upgrade to ZEN 3. Not worth it unless prices rapidly drop for some reason, something I doubt will happen, likely the opposite though.

If you're trying to get max oc or max performance, then yes.

 

Otherwise, the 3200 will work just fine.

More like 2 or 3 %

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

You can try overclock this memory...
