Considering a Ryzen 5 2600 for your PC build, you might explore a 3600 MHz 2x8GB configuration to ensure future compatibility and performance at around 3200 MHz.

It depends on the IMC and Interconnect capabilities. Generally, anything above 2933 isn't assured, but you can technically use something like a 1600 AF (lower binned 2600) or a 3300x which tends to be more cost-effective and perform better unless the workload is very multi-threaded.

You mentioned it's technically feasible but sometimes fails. I'm struggling to keep the 2600 running smoothly at speeds over 2933 rpm, it keeps crashing no matter what I try. It seems like it depends on testing and adjusting.

Absolutely, anything above 2933 isn't assured in theory.

Use the 3200MHz CL16 unless you find a great offer on the 3600MHz model—opt for the cheaper one since the differences are minimal. Consider getting a key ballistics set if you plan to boost performance later, as those are mainly for Rev E builds.
