Hello everyone, welcome to the new year! I’m considering purchasing a dual-channel kit of Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB 3600MHZ RAM. Right now I own Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16GB 8X2 3000MHZ RAM. I looked into AMD’s information and found some details. What does this mean? If I upgrade my current RAM to 3600MHZ, will it really make a difference compared to the 3200MHZ version? Also, my motherboard is the ASUS TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING. Their site mentions DDR4 4400MHZ support. Other sources say it’s limited to 3466MHZ, while some claim a maximum of 3200MHZ. Which specifications are accurate?

Above 3200Mhz is a motherboard overclock. With the same delay, 3600Mhz performs marginally better.

Checking the motherboard compatibility for a 3600MHz processor is important. Regarding the RAM upgrade, moving from 16GB 3000MHZ CL16 to 32GB 3600MHZ CL18 could offer significant benefits, especially with a RYZEN CPU that already handles performance well. It’s worth considering if the boost from more RAM outweighs the cost of the new memory type.

The 3000Mhz CL16 and 3600Mhz CL18 models are nearly identical, offering only a minor edge to the latter. Always verify your motherboard's QVL to confirm the memory kit you receive matches the recommended list.

You notice the 2x16 variant on the motherboard QVL, but it's not visible. Is this an issue?
