I think you're forgetting the time it takes to validate stability...

3 passes of r15 

20 mins Aida 64 while running r15 and a light works render 

no crash it's stable as fuck 

takes 30 mins tops to validate stability

As it says I don't get this, given the silicon lottery we all knwo of assuming you can get simmilar speeds from the 1600 seems like takign a chance. Plus it can lwoer life span. I also find overclocking to be better as a life extension option not a planned start point usually. Now I mena it's up to each person but i guess I jsut don't understand the seemingly universal state of "just buy a 1600 and overclock it!" Soembody mind helping me get this mindset?

because it's cheaper and it comes with a cooler...all you have to do is change the multiplier and find your max stable RAM clocks and timings.
