2666 19cl RAM sticks might suffice for the 1600AF, but a 3200 16cl could offer better stability and longevity. The difference is noticeable—higher capacity RAM generally improves performance, especially under heavy loads. Many RAM modules are designed to be overclocked, so you can likely find cheaper options with higher speeds.

Avoid those settings. They’re terrible timing for 2666 and likely low-quality chips with minimal overclocking. I’d stick to a minimum of 3000 C16 at the latest for a Ryzen processor.

The general recommendation "aim for 3000C16 for Ryzen" isn't reliable since first and second generation chips don't support that setting. Based on your comments, choosing 3200C16 could be a smart move in the long term, particularly with current pricing. While it's true that overclocking depends on many variables—like RAM quality, your expertise, motherboard compatibility, and patience—it’s worth considering. You might not see significant performance boosts, maybe just a slight improvement of a few frames per second. It could be a waste of time unless you're willing to invest hours learning the process. Ultimately, it's about what works best for you. Good luck!

A solid collection of FlareX for Ryzen running at 3200 MHz is compatible with any Zen or Zen+ processor. Similarly, any Samsung B-die RAM operating at 3200 MHz or below will function perfectly fine.
