3600 RAM vs 4000 RAM

[doopydug]

Thinking of ordering the 8 pack RAM to go with the new MSI X570 T'hawk - the 4000 ram has slower timings than the 3600 RAM - which would be a faster system ?

If you’re doing an AMD system, you’d want to use Ryzen RAM calculator, so the advertised speeds are somewhat irrelevant.

More important may be the ability to remove the heat sink - the one on the 4000 MHz stuff can’t be. Important if you’re going for an air cooler
