Ram Speeds, Is there any difference between 2400mhz or 3000mhz?

On Intel, depending on the game, you are looking at about a ~0-5% performance improvement going from 2400 to 3000.

Memory speed is more important on Ryzen because it is directly linked to how fast the CPU's in each core complex can talk to each other via the Infinity Fabric.

Cheers mate :)
 
Not many tests but like this one below (tested during Ryzen review) showed quite decent increase in performance between 2133 vs 3200 for intel (of course it will be smaller between 2400 vs 3000). Some of the games showed even up to 30% increase, tested multiple times (as they say) because it was surprising.

Even if it was 5-10% increase, performance boost for your machine is worth it imo (also cheapest 2400 are £112 while 3000 for £120, 3200 for £150 so not that big of a difference in price). All depends on the quality, LEDs, timings etc I guess.

The below test shows 2-9% between 2400 vs 3000 (it would be even more with 3200 which for many models are at similar price as 3000). But this one is quite old and not many reviewers go back to test the same thing after a while to see if anything has changed (with games optimisation, windows, drivers etc), so people only know how it was when platform was released.
