Speed comparison: 5600x RAM at 3200MHz versus 3600MHz.
You bought a 5600x CPU and Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB DDR4-3200 CL16 RAM. You're checking if the 3600MHz version would be better, especially if CAS Latency is the same. Consider returning your current memory and upgrading to the 3600MHz model if you want a noticeable performance boost.
3200MHz is sufficient, the 5000 series Ryzen CPUs work better with four sticks of RAM, though that’s mainly when you’re aiming for around 64GB. That said, 3200MHz is adequate for the latest Ryzen processors.
Sounds good, I'll likely stick with the 3200MHz sticks. I'm thinking about possibly getting the same 8 x 2 kit later.
Based on reviews and discussions on Reddit, it looks like 3200MHz is sufficient for the CPUs in the 5000 series. The focus should be on having four RAM sticks, rather than worrying about specific amounts. Yes, you can definitely find four 8GB sticks, though that was more of a strong suggestion rather than a strict rule. If you can get one 8GB stick, you’re likely fine with four.
Only if the 2x16GB sticks have double-sided surfaces, which isn't assured
It's possible to verify this. A huge quantity of 16GB drives are dual-ranked.
