So, at least that fast?
Running 16gb 4133 gskill bdie right now.

I want 32 gbs but have a rog strix b350f. Would be the PERFECT board even now with a Nvidia to AMD GPU switch; it's very feature rich... Compatibility is shot and these sticks aren't even listed in the QVL at ALL.

Buying RAM is a problem I really really don't need (the only stick of my ram is a single one for 50 bucks by some dip out of Ohio with a giant PC supply on eBay... So why sell ONE only? Lol)

Hey Mike. I recommend 3600mhz ram with 16 or 18 latency if you can afford it. 3200mhz is good too. But for that extra bit of performance 3600mhz is recommended ONLY because then it will match CPU's bus speed. (it might be called something else)

If you can afford higher ram speeds all the better but bc cpu works w 3600 at some point it only negates the improvement but don't have to worry about that a fun fact.

Wait, you have 16gb of 4133. Well you don't need more than 16gb for gaming. And that's a pretty fast ram. If you're set on going for 32gb you need just another two sticks (guessing you have 2 of the 4133), get at least a 3600 bc then the 4133 default to the lower ram stick speed in the bios.

Pretty good timing. But better if 3600mhz.
"If you use a 3200MHz RAM the memory clock (also called MCLK) and FCLK has to be lowered to 1600MHz directly affecting the speed of data exchange inside the CPU.
You can technically run FCLK and effective memory clock out of sync (for example 1800MHz FCLK and 3200MHz RAM) but that would cause huge latency penalty between RAM and CPU.
If you consider this and the fact that the memory timings don't impact in game performance by much it's clear that you should prioritize faster memory clock over lower Cas Latency (CL). Meaning 3600mhz cl18 is better than 3200mhz cl16."
