Comparing Ryzen 3 Gen 3200 and 3600 at 3200MHz vs 3600MHz RAM highlights differences in performance and compatibility.
You're facing a common dilemma when upgrading components. With your current setup using the 2700x and a 3700x motherboard, you're considering whether to keep your existing RAM or switch to faster options. The Ryzen calculator data suggests the 3700x might run a bit slower due to timing differences, but your BIOS update indicates it's running the latest version. It might be worth keeping your current RAM if you value stability and compatibility, especially since the new RAM could introduce unexpected issues. Alternatively, if you're comfortable with a slight performance dip for better speed and future-proofing, the 3600 MHz RAM could work well. Ultimately, test both configurations with your software to see which performs best for your needs.
For a third generation Ryzen I’d choose 3600mhz and use a board that matches that speed. My two copper coins (along with your board and CPU) are compatible.
