Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I dont think I will be hitting that speed, 3200 was totally fine for me.
  • Any b450 / 550 board, and some DDR4 3200Mhz and you are good to go.
  • Replace the 3000Mhz with identical 3200Mhz one. This is the sweet spot for Ryzen 5000 CPUs and will ensure your minimum frame rates stay high.
  • My current build is a ryzen 5 5600x, rx 6600 and 16gb of 3200mhz ram.

Cons

  • So for the CPU to cut costs I am thinking the 14100F or 14600F and for the RAM I am thinking 16GB (2x8) of DDR4 3200Mhz.
  • every time I add 8GB of 3200MHz RAM to the existing 8GB of 3200MHz RAM, my PC freezes after a while, and the only way to shut it down is with the power button.
  • Sorta. It's not 3200 MHz, it's 3200 MT/s (megatransfers per second). As I said, the manufacturers use the wrong term A LOT!
  • On the other hand, 3200 is a pretty low speed compatibility-wise, there's a good chance a random DDR4 16gib kit running at same speed and timings will be happily compatible with your current one (but safer to buy a 2x16 kit and sell your...
  • Current build: i9 9900k, 64gb DDR4 3200mhz, 4070 ti

On the other hand, 3200 is a pretty low speed compatibility-wise, there's a good chance a random DDR4 16gib kit running at same speed and timings will be happily compatible with your current one (but safer to buy a 2x16 kit and sell yours if you can't test for free and then return).

2x16GB of DDR4 3200mHz - This is the oldest component in my PC at 5.5 years old aside from the MOBO
