RAM Kit Differences

Hi,

 

I'm currently working on a build and was hoping someone could clarify the differences/benefits of the different Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C18 kits listed below:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/XWGnTW/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-cmw16gx4m2d3600c18 - cmw16gx4m2d3600c18

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/DcNv6h/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3600-memory-cmw16gx4m2c3600c18 - cmw16gx4m2c3600c18

 

After searching online it has been hard to find a consensus on the compatibility of each kit with various mobo chipsets. I will be using a Ryzen 5 5600X with an MSI MPG B550 Gaming Carbon WiFi mobo.

 

I would be very grateful if someone could confirm which of the kits above would be compatible with my board and if there are any optimisations for AMD that would make one kit better than others.

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

3600 CL18 is bad. Get something faster. At least CL16.
