I recently purchased gskill trident z rgb ram 16 go 3200 mhz cL 16 for Black Friday at 78$, today I saw that 3600mhz cL 18 is around the same price, is it worth for me to go through the return process and buying process to get the 3600mhz?I heard that on 3rd gen it’s best to get higher clocked ram.

When the CAS Latency is also higher on the 3600, you likely won't notice a difference between the two. Don't worry, stick to your 3200.
