[SOLVED] G.SKILL Ripjaws V 16GB 3200MHz CL16 or Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR4 3000MHz CL15

Need a new ram kit for a 1600AF but can't decide between the two kits, they are going for the same price in my local shop.

Is it worth to go for the extra 200mhz ?

First check your motherboards qualified vendors list to see if ether kit is compatible. theoretically they should be about the same, Ryzen might get a slight boost with 3200Mhz but most likely you wont be able to tell the difference with the naked eye.

i'd go for the extra 200mhz, but it wont be much of a difference.

I have a B350 motherboard, on paper it's not compatible. But I tried it with G skill aegis 3200mhz and it was working fine with XMP enabled. I think it should be fine, I also checked my motherboard on userbenchmark and many people are using corsair and G Skill rams with 3000 or 3200mhz

I have some very spendy Corsair ram that will not perform as advertised and Corsair support is giving me the runaround.

I've had good luck with G.Skill, in fact I may end up dumping this memory if Corsair doesn't stepup pretty quickly and getting some.

If it works and is the same price/quality, yep faster is better, even if you can't really notice it.
