Hello forum,
This week i am gonna upgrade my old rig to a 5600X and a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro V2
After a lot of research in ram category for Ryzen, the ram in stock from the retailer im gonna purchase and the QVL of the motherboard i narrowed down my options.
I have to mention that i might overclock them if needed, atleast i will push the FCLK to 1900Mhz. Many people state that its fairly easy to manage.
I dont want to overspend for minimal perfomance, and if i overclock to achieve same speeds, i am ok with that
So the Ram i can pick is:

CRUCIALBL2K8G32C16U4B320016-18-18-36Micron E-die90,00 €
HYPERXHX432C16PB3AK2/16320016-18-18-36Hynix91,92 €
CORSAIRCMW16GX4M2Z3600C18360018-22-22-42Micron E-Die(?)101,99 €
CRUCIALBL2K8G32C16U4WL320016-18-18-36Micron E-die104,50 €
HYPERXHX436C17PB4AK2/16360017-19-19-41Hynix CJR107,66 €
HYPERXHX434C16FB3AK2/16346616-18-18-36Samsung (?)112,58 €
PATRIOTPVS416G440C9K440019-19-19-39Samsung B-die128,88 €
GSKILLF4-3600C16D-16GTZNC360016-19-19-39Hynix DJR131,63 €
THERMALTAKER022D408GX2-4000C19A400019-23-23-42Hynix139,07 €
GSKILLF4-4000C18D-16GTZKW400018-19-19-39Samsung B-die139,72 €
CORSAIRCMW16GX4M2K4000C19400019-23-23-45Samsung B-die144,30 €

1) The best perfoming of them all is the Patriot one (PVS416G440C9K). Everyone can fiddle them around for insane speeds (e.x 3800Mhz CL16).

2) F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC. Was my first pick, cause everyone suggests 3600CL16 as optimal. Enable XMP and you are done. But they are not in my QVL.

3) CMW16GX4M2Z3600C18 or BL2K8G32C16U4WL as a budget option overclock and more blink in the rig

Thanks guys in advance!

Just because a certain ram kit isnt on the motherboards QVL doesnt mean it wont work.
Im sure it will work at 3600mhz.
3600MHz 2x8gb CL16 is perfect for gaming and 5600X.
Push to speed higher than that and you wont see many benefits.

While Patriot kit is the same price and faster. Is the gskill one the better option? i mean why not have the Mhz headroom in the same price?
What do you think?

Chasing frequency higher than 3600mhz is pointless in my opinion.
Also CAS latency.
16 and below 16 is preffered,and with increasing frequency,the latency gets higher.
That why 3600mhz cas latency 16 is perfect in my opnion.
