Mobo: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
CPU: Ryzen 1600

RAMs in question: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 8gb C16 3000MHz (CMK8GX4M1D3000C16) and G.skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000MHz (F4-3000C16D-16GTZR)
*Needs to run in dual channel

The highest you can go with a first gen Ryzen is 3200MHz with the latest AGESA BIOS update. If you were on gen 2 or gen 3 for Ryzen you'd have been able to get to DDR4-3600MHz. That being said, if you haven't purchased the rams yet, buy a DDR4-3200MHz ram kit to get the best out of your platform.

Since you didn't place a question mark, nor state the question, are you looking to mix and match both kits of ram or are you looking to buy either one kit?

I would look for 3600Mhz c14 RAM (B-die)

That's what's best for AMD

3600 14-16-16 or 14-14-14.

No, I'm not planning on mixing the kits. I'm just asking which one of the ram kits would be the best. How much of a difference would the 3000 and the 3200 MHz RAM would make? Currently I have a 2800MHz RAM installed but I believe it only runs at 2666MHz.
