G.Skills Ripjaws 4-3600C16D-16GVK performs well at the right timing.
Wouldn't the Trident Z justify its cost? I purchased a ripjaws 3600mhz cl 16 but feel a bit disappointed because the clock speeds are quite limited, and the RAM is crucial for my Ryzen setup. I intend to retain this RAM if I upgrade later. If I faced a similar situation, I’d choose the Trident Z.
It seems like you're wondering about a 3200MHz Cl16 setup—probably looking at the C15 model as the top option.
The main reason I wouldn’t take this path is the Gear Down Mode adjustment that shifts tCL from 15 to 16, altering the clock speeds to 16-15-15-15. The updated Neo kits compensate by setting tCL to an even number like 14. If OP is comfortable lightly boosting the RAM speed, the 3600C15 remains a solid choice given current market prices. I own two units. OP would just need to adjust BIOS settings for timing and voltage. If OP is willing, further tuning the 3600C15 could be quite straightforward.
All on auto with XMP enabled will automatically turn off gear down mode so the XMP latency can be handled properly...
Not every mobile option acts alike. My version handles it, while some users have shared varying results. It’s a straightforward solution.
