I compared the Gskil F4-3600C16D-GTZN 16GB and Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 32GB. Neither showed noticeable differences on my 9700k. I’m checking which one offers better overclocking potential and what I’ll use more often—primarily gaming and streaming.

You need to review your usage patterns to determine if a bigger RAM size is necessary. Increasing to 32GB would likely work well even with faster speeds, since Intel isn’t heavily affected by RAM speed. The 3600 model, with its lower memory requirements, should perform better after optimization.

It seems the G.Skill memory kit is mainly valued for its 2x8GB capacity, though it lacks many standout features otherwise.

I think I’ll trade the 3600 for the 3200 once I have a 10th or 11th generation model. It handles memory better. Generally, RAM tends to impact AMD more than Intel.

So use the 3600?

Are you asking if you often store data larger than 16GB? If not, proceed with your request. If yes, consider selling the excess.

That's all, just playing Fortnite and streaming it.

A 10th or 11th generation Intel processor isn't practical. You should use a different board, like the Ryzen 4000 series. More RAM is necessary now. I recently upgraded to faster memory.

I don't remember the exact usage of 4.5gb during recording, replay buffer activation, or playing Fortnite at high FPS.

Absolutely, there are many streamers out there. I don’t do that, so I can’t need 32GB. I’ve spent money on just gaming and performance upgrades. I’m generally a different kind of user. Don’t misunderstand the streaming part—why would I want to watch you play when I could be playing myself! lol. (Sorry, I’m a bit older)
