The results will be almost the same. It's not worth it.

For a 5600X, the real advantage of quicker RAM with similar latency lies in increased bandwidth and, for Ryzen processors, a higher FCLK. The FCLK gain isn’t a big factor here since both the 5600X and 5800X have just one CCD/CCX. Infinity Fabric mainly supports communication between Core Complexes, and you only have one. Regarding bandwidth, the 5600X handles 3200 RAM perfectly fine—unless you're working on a specialized task that relies heavily on data transfer, you won’t notice any gains.

Boost your memory speed to 3733 or 3800 based on your CPU's maximum clock frequency capability

attempted, it's stuck at C-Die and can't even hit 3266MHz

Have you experimented with adjusting RAM voltage and/or SOC voltage?

I attempted it for a long time, tried all options. The chips were poor quality and not included in the board's QVL.

I think rgb pro is just a basic version of rgbify with expensive RAM that still works, obviously Corsair RAM is worse than I thought, like if you pay $80 for RAM chips, you should get better ones; maybe try adjusting the RAM timings to cl15? Who knows, the RAM could be completely useless at high overclock frequencies.

It won't start at CL15—it's just a low-quality, expensive product.

The difference in performance between 3200 and 3733 is minimal, so it probably isn't worth the effort unless you're after high-end gear like Tridentz Neo or Viper Steel. The value you get won't be significant. You might be better off selling RGB pros for $60-70 and getting a budget kit such as Viper Steel 4000mhz CL18 or Ripjaws 3600 CL16.
