With higher frequency usually goes higher latency so you'll probably will have to choose between them. That Trident should be able to run at 3200MHz Cl16 for sure. Can't tell if it will be able to run at that or lower latency with higher frequency. Anything above and beyond XMP is not guaranteed because of many other factors. It's in "Try and see" range.
