RAM compatible with Ryzen 5 3600
I usually suggest a 2x8GB 3200MHz CL16 setup, 3000MHz works just as well, with only a $2 variation between the lowest options in each category. 3000MHz link: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6wGxFT/...0hc16cdc01 3200MHz link: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/z3VD4D/...0hc16cdc01 3600MHz link: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jBZzK8/...16d-16gvkc
I suggest going with 3600, but stick to that speed limit. The 3600 Vengeance LPX units I received were quite affordable and have delivered reliable results.
I chose CL16 3200 for my Ryzen 5 3600 setup since it was available at a reasonable price. I’d seen videos discussing RAM speed benefits and noticed that CL16 3600 fits the optimal range. Increasing the RAM from 3200 to 3600 might boost performance by a few frames per second in 1080p, but I opted for the lower end to save some money.
Essential ballistix Sport LT sets 2x8GB are available in BLS2K8G4D32AESBK or BLS2K8G4D30AESBK. Approximately 99% of the time they support 3600mhz cl16, while in other instances performance improves further.
