Need new 32Gb ram. 3200C14, 3600C17, or something else?

A bit confused!

I want to replace the 32Gb Adata ram I have in my ryzen 1600 (Asus prime x370 pro) build that only seems to run at 2400 c17. I quite like the G.Skill Trident Z RGB ram sticks and have seen 2 different sets. One is 3200mhz at C14, the other is 3600mhz at C17. Both are 2 sticks of 16Gb.

Which one should I go for? I intend to run this on my current Ryzen 1600 setup, then use the same ram in my Ryzen 3000 build in a few months.

Thanks.

Yep I have 3 VMs using 8Gb each running most days for work.

Went for the Gskill 3200C14. Hopefully it will run at 3200 in my Ryzen 1600, then 3600+ when I upgrade to Ryzen 3000 later on in the year.

stick to 3000hz , can push harder for once ryzen 3000 gets here .

Ryzen ram calculator is a god send !

Bet 3900x with 12 cores would be a lovely upgrade over 1600 6 cores for VM
