8700k vs 8086k and RAM speed

Im using 2666mhz memory with my 8086k and cpu appears to be running fine, as Im getting 1600 in cinebench and thats with cpu at 4.9ghz. If you look at the intel website, it says 2666mhz memory for the 8086k

Yeah that’s because it’s literally the base speed it’s guaranteed to support is why, in quite a few applications you will see benefits in bumping to at least 3,200. 2,666 is pretty low given your investment in the rest of your hardware.
 
Literally everything there is 400+ boss for CL14 3200mhz RAM.

Only C16.. for 300+...

The best I can find for under £300 is C16 3200mhz or C15 3000mhz, which is making me think if I should return my £180 Trident 16GB 3200mhz CL14 for those.

Why you don't keep your current RAM? And if you truly need 32GB then switch.
Many have said that 16GB is good enough for 4K editing.

I am contemplating that. My only issue is that this RAM cost me £180. I can get 32GB for £260-ish.

I'm unsure of the benefit of having CL14 RAM when I game at 4k/Vr/Video edit and I don't want to have to re-open my computer and take out the cooler to re-install new RAM as it will be a big faff.
