Hello everyone, I'm checking if upgrading my RAM to 3600MHz from 3000MHz makes sense. My current setup includes a Ryzen 7 3700X, Aorus X570 Master Corsair LX CL15 with 3000MHz, and a total of 32GB across multiple sticks. I'm considering a GSKILL Neo 3600MHz CL16 kit with two 16GB modules for the same amount of space.
It varies based on your task, but it's uncertain for your setup
The gain from upgrading to that kit isn't enough to justify buying a completely new one. You might consider tweaking it yourself and seeing what improvements you can achieve. The performance boost between 3000 and 3600 units isn't significant.
My Corsair 16GB sticks are designed for speeds up to 3200 MHz, but I successfully reached 3600 on an X570 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi. I also achieved 3800 with stable performance, though a single crash prompted me to revert. I wouldn’t rush into buying new RAM just for a minor boost of 600 MHz; instead, I’d opt for an upgrade and look into supporting 4GHz if possible.
