B550-F + Ryzen 5800x I need Help Choosing Ram

CL 18 3200MHZ
CL18 3600MHZ
CL16 3600MHZ
CL 16 3600MHZ

I honestly want to use CL16 3600 MHZ but I don't know if I am choosing correctly the best one for my setup?

I want to push 32GB of course in 2x sticks dual and eventually run the quad as 64gb.

I game and stream? Help me decide what is best to do

biggest thing is looking at your motherboard and see what it supports

Yeah I have done just that in which I can't figure out which would be the best for 3600

Is this true?

CAS Latency wise, its the same. However, if you compare other primary timings. 3200MHz is a winner.
3200 CL16 = 10ns 3600 cl18 = 10ns
3200 18 = 11.25ns 3600 22 = 12.22ns
If you just need plug n play, go for higher frequency. I personally overclock my RAM kits, I prefer those with lower timings like 3200 cl16-18-18 vs 3600 cl18-22-22 (if it was 3600 cl18-20-20 ram kit, then it is 100% better in this scenario)

if you are not going to use it at stock xmp and manually tweak timings/frequency then potentially go with the cheaper kit and tweak it. Otherwise 3600 CL16
