Real-Life Speed Difference Between 3600 & 4000 MHz DDR4?

I've been looking into upgrading my RAM and came across the Thermaltake Toughram RGB Black DDR4-3600 CL18. Has anyone here had experience with this memory? Any thoughts on whether it would be good for gaming?

Hi @Bravesteel! I have used the Thermaltake Toughram RGB for a few months now, and I must say that I'm quite satisfied with its performance. It's working great for me in both gaming and general computing tasks. You can find more details about it in this TechReviewer article Overview: Thermaltake Toughram RGB 16 GB DDR4-3600 CL18 RAM.

Thanks for sharing your experience, @Moose1956. The article you linked looks really helpful! According to the specs, the Toughram RGB has an effective frequency of 3600 MHz and a capacity of 16 GB (2 x 8 GB). Do you think these are good numbers for gaming?

In my opinion, 3600 MHz is more than sufficient for gaming. I've been using DDR4-3200 RAM for quite some time now, and it has never held me back in any game or application. However, if you can afford the higher clock speed, going for 4000 MHz might give you a slight edge in certain games.

Yeah, I agree with @Mindful95. The difference between 3600 MHz and 4000 MHz isn't massive, but it can make a noticeable difference in some games, especially those that are more CPU-intensive. In my case, the Toughram RGB has been serving me well, and I haven't experienced any issues so far.

I've recently upgraded to DDR4-4200 RAM and I must say, the speed difference is quite noticeable! My games run smoother than ever before. However, it's also more expensive, so if you're on a budget, then 3600 MHz should still provide excellent performance for gaming.

Just wanted to add that I've been using the Thermaltake Toughram RGB Black DDR4-3600 CL18 RAM for about a month now. I can definitely feel a difference in my gaming experience compared to my previous DDR4-2400 RAM. The load times are significantly faster, and the overall performance is impressive.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences! It's been really helpful. I think I'll go ahead and get the Thermaltake Toughram RGB Black DDR4-3600 CL18. If it works as well for me as it has for all of you, I'm sure I'll be more than satisfied with my purchase.
