Hi everyone, I wanted to clarify that I originally intended to get a 32GB DDR4 3600 module, but I mistakenly ordered a 3200 instead. It comes with a Ryzen 3800XT. My question is whether I should return the 3200 and request the 3600, or proceed with the 3200 as is. Since I’m not involved in content creation but focus on gaming, your advice would be most helpful. Thanks!

Check the schedules for both options. If the 3600 kit uses CL18 and the 3200 kit uses CL16, their results will be similar, especially with matching timing settings. The performance gap won’t be significant if they’re aligned properly.

The Corsair Vengeance Pro timing is as follows: 3200:: 15-15-15-36 and 3600:: 18-22-22-42. Appreciation.

Lol, the 3200 kit really speeds things up here. @Haro mentioned it too.

Thanks for the feedback! That worked out well—really glad I acted quickly before missing out!
