I am trying to decide between the following RAMs, and I have some questions.

G.Skill Tridentz 3600 B-Die, F4-3600C16D CL16
G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4-3200 CL16-18-18-38

1. Will the Ripjaws V actually run at 3200 with 32 GB? if not at which speed approx.?

2. Will Trident Z actually run at 3600 with 24GB?

3. In terms of performance and latency, is the Trident Z @32 GB worth the almost $100 extra vs the Ripjaws V @32GB?

The answer is it's almost guaranteed those 3600 sticks won't run at 3600 and unlikely the others will run at 3200. Was trying to give you options that would end up with the same performance and likely be cheaper. Your best bet is either a set of flare x or any of the bdie samesung ic memory.

The gskill flare x are the main sticks guaranteed to work at their speed on a am4 platform but most of them are 2133/2400 kits I suspect you could probably oc them some. But I do know the tridents and their Samsung b chips have shown promise too. I'd buy some 2666+ speed tridents and oc them if I needed more. They always have some headroom.
