Question about RAM
Question about RAM
I'm looking at a Ryzen 5 3600 and want to know which RAM to get—16GB at 3000MHz CL15 or 3200MHz CL16. I also have a Ryzen 5 2600 (now 3600 with a Cooler Master 212 RGB Black Edition) and an Aorus Pro RTX 2080. Thanks!
3200 CL16 when the price matches, compare with 3600 models offering CL18 or lower.
The price difference is around 12€ less for the 3000MHz CL15 compared to the 3200MHz CL16. If performance isn't significantly different, choosing the 3000MHz model might be more cost-effective. Your motherboard can handle up to 3200MHz, so that's a good option.
I noticed the site lists 3600 for OC and 3000 without OC. Go with 3000MHz—it's still quite solid.
