Hi, should I purchase the CL16 3200MHZ at 115€ including shipping, or would it be better to spend more for a 32GB 3600MHz RAM at 190€? I’m not a gamer and don’t plan to use it much. Mostly I work with Intellij Idea, run a server quietly, play games occasionally, use Chrome with tabs open, and listen to music—I can’t imagine focusing on anything else. Please let me know what you think!

Which processor? The 3600MHz model? I’m avoiding t-group RAM—it’s too cheap and of poor quality.

I needed the 3600Mhz RAM which was the G.Skill Trident Z. Once Zen 3 CPUs arrive I’ll replace everything except the RAM and NVMe SSD.

I’d choose 3200MHz. That’s sufficient for Ryzen processors unless you intend to overclock significantly. From what I understand, you’re not aiming for high performance.

It's a solid RAM package.

I'll only try to use as much memory as needed.

It should be easy to locate affordable 3200MHz C16 with 32GB RAM, such as Corsair LPX or Kingston Hyper X, around €110.

Our team's devices are Samsung B-Die models, and they perform flawlessly beyond expectations. Extremely satisfied with their quality.

Hi, thanks for your message. I'm facing a bit of a challenge too. In my country, a 32GB 3200mhz CL16 HyperX model costs over 135€ for the non-RGB version, and the same goes for the carsair LPX at around 125€. The only RAM I've found on Amazon under 110€ is the G.Skill Aegis. It seems like a 3200mhz 16GB Aegis from a friend is likely Samsung, though I haven't verified if it's a B-Die model. On B-Die platforms, T-Group Delta isn't considered a B-Die. RAM prices can vary so much—it's strange why some are so expensive while others are quite affordable. If manufacturers mainly use Hynix, Samsung, Micron for chips and industrial-grade PCBs are standard (except occasionally), shouldn't they generally perform well? Still, I'm not very experienced, so I hope I'm not saying anything foolish. Thanks for your understanding.
