Question about Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz
Corsair ram performs exceptionally well.
For a 4000 speed setup, consider purchasing one.
Of course, achieving 4000 speed will increase the cost slightly.
Choosing 3200 speed will yield a 3000 speed option.
With a suitable overclocking motherboard, you might reach higher speeds, but this is not guaranteed.
Another aspect affecting performance is timing. Higher speeds usually require longer timings.
When overclocking, this trade-off is likely to occur.
A 3600 speed ram that doesn’t cost much comes with 18 timings.
A 3500 speed ram with 16 timings offers better results but is pricier.
The final consideration is appearance. You may pay more for flashy designs or RGB accents.
However, the same RAM can be available at a lower price.
For instance, the Corsair LPX 3600 cas18-22-22-42 costs $55.

Make informed choices when shopping.
Being good or not really comes down to the RAM model and the luck of the lottery. If you could, steer clear of any Corsairs that have version 4.32—it's a Samsung C die and it's the worst option for overclocking. If you're still interested in overclocking and want to keep costs low, look for Corsair models with version 4.31; these are mostly Samsung B dies and are popular among overclockers. Alternatively, check out RAM from Klevv, PNY, or V-Color—they typically use Hynix DJR on their latest builds. Hynix DJR performs well in OC with solid pricing (my setup can reach 3600 to 4133), or opt for Crucial Ballistix and aim for a model that has Micron 8Gbit Rev E or 16Gbit Rev B; these are powerful for OC since you can still push the heat without errors during overclocking, and both types are not known to be temperature sensitive even at high temps.
If you're targeting 4000MHz and want a 1:1 (UCLK:FCLK) setup, switch from 5600X to 5600G—this won't be too difficult. However, doing it on a 5600X at 4000MHz is really tough unless you have a very good build.
I didn't grasp the details about the CPU. Does the 5600 handle higher frequencies?
What you meant is that 5600 and 5600X rely on the same I/O die as those from the Ryzen 3000 series CPU, manufactured at 12nm using GloFo technology. This setup naturally limits the frequency to below 4000MHz, possibly reaching a maximum of 3866/3933 at a 1:1 ratio (with UCLK and FCLK synchronized). As for the current Ryzen CPUs, they use a chiplet architecture—meaning each core die is separate, and the I/O dies are on another die. When you examine X-ray images or disassembled Ryzen CPUs, you'll notice they contain 2 or 3 silicon layers. For the Ryzen 5 5500 and 5600G, they follow an APU design (the 5500 lacks its integrated GPU), packed into a single monolithic die fabricated at 7nm on TSMC, which shortens the FCLK path. This allows them to achieve frequencies above 4000MHz smoothly in a 1:1 configuration without issues. The ability to run 4133 on a 5600G without problems proves that aiming for 4000MHz or higher at a 1:1 ratio is feasible, so choosing the 5500 or 5600G is the right path if you want reliable performance above 3600MHz.
