So I got bought the 3700X and it's on the way but I have fairly new 2x8GB 3200MHz CL16 Vengeance Pro RGB RAM kit (I know but I like how they look). I noticed after the fact that the motherboard I got, X570 AORUS Elite Wifi doesn't have any of the Corsair Vengeance Pro on it's QVL list. At the same time I can give my existing 2x8GB kit to my girlfriend and grab a faster/lower latency kit if it would yield a decent gain in performance. I'm wondering if anyone has the same RAM with my mobo and has no issues or if anyone thinks an upgrade from 3200MHz CL16 to say 3600MHz would be worth it? I also want to avoid a potential headache with my RAM not working with XMP and would rather order it sooner rather than later. Thanks!

The system should function, but improvements are possible. Adjusting to 3600 and reducing latency could improve performance by 3-5% depending on the workload.
