So.. I know that in synthetic benchmarks, there are more drastic differences between base speeds and overclocked, higher speeds? However, REAL WORLD USE, is there really a noticeable difference? When it comes to using chrome, playing games, etc? I dont mean amount, purely the speeds they operate at. Is there a TANGIBLE difference between those kind of memory kits?

I don't know about Intel, but Ryzen requires 3000Mhz speed to operate properly.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

Yes. Also ram timings do too. That c__ rating also matters. Mhz is how many cycles the ram goes thru each second. and the c__ value is how many cycles it takes to respond. Calculate that.

Yes but i mean like.. Is it a savings of a few seconds? minutes? what kind of differences are we talking about here.
