Built my first PC a month ago and been getting into OC’ing for the past couple weeks.
Specs:
Ryzen 5800X
MSI 3080 Gaming Trio
MSI MEG x570 Unify
G.Skill Trident Z Neo 4x8GB 3600MHz CL14 (F4-3600C14Q-32GTZNB)
Those benchmark points, latency ns and Warzone FPS quickly became my new crack cocaine and I feel a little obsessed by them now. GPU OC was an easy entry, CPU OC was a little harder and now I’m in the thick swamp of RAM OC.
Default XMP gave me ~59.* ns latency in AIDA64 benchmark. I was able to up the frequency to 3800MHz, tighten timings a tad bit and now am sitting at a ~55.* ns latency (TM5 stable). I am not done with the timings, though, as there is still room for improvement left. But I'm willing to increase that room.
At the time of purchasing RAM I’ve been choosing between:
G.Skill Trident Z Neo 4x8GB 3600MHz CL14 (F4-3600C14Q-32GTZNB) (my current RAM)
G.Skill Trident Z Neo 2x16GB 3800MHz CL14 (F4-3800C14D-32GTZN)
(both are Samsung B-die, both are priced almost the same)
I chose the 4x8GB 3600MHz version because of:
1) Tech YouTubers influence (duuuh)
2) Motherboard QvL. It had RAM similar to the 3600MHz on it (4 DIMMS of F4-3600C14Q2-64GTZNB as “compatible”). The closest thing to the 3800MHz version on the QVL was 2 DIMMS of F4-3800C14Q-32GTZN (so 2x8GB of G.Skills 3800 C14). I know, I know, MB QvL shouldn’t mean much, but as a bit of a noob I chose not to risk it after seeing all those posts online about WHEA errors.
After all the research I’ve done up until now, I now know that dual rank 2x16GB would probably give me better results in RAM OC. My main worry was/is the out of the box stability, but I now understand that loooots of RAM parameters can be tweaked to get stuff stable and damn fast.
Question:
I still have a few days to return my 4x8GB 3600. Should I do it? Will it feed my new addiction just a tiny bit more? I want to catch that 50 ns with 2000 FCLK badly now (can’t get the current RAM to run @ 4000MHz).
I know it’s probably a lame ass question, but anyone everyone needs encouragement when starting new things. Thanks in advance!

Also if you can find that memory in stock?
