Yeah, I've heard good things about the Corsair brand. How does it compare to other options in terms of speed and compatibility?

I have been using the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz DDR4 for a while now, and it's been performing really well. It's compatible with the i5-10505 CPU and offers excellent performance for gaming.

That sounds good, but what about speed? Is there much of a difference between 2666 MHz and 3600 MHz for gaming?

There can be some differences in speed, but it ultimately depends on your specific needs and budget. The 3600 MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM is faster, but the 2666 MHz Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM is still more than capable of handling most gaming tasks.

I've been using the 3600 MHz version for a while now, and I must say, it's made a noticeable difference in my gaming experience. The higher clock speed definitely helps with responsiveness and overall performance.

Thanks for the input! So, which one would you recommend? Should I go with the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2666 MHz DDR4 or the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz DDR4?

It really depends on your budget and what you're more comfortable with. Both options are great for gaming, so it comes down to personal preference.

I'm leaning towards the 2666 MHz version because it's a bit cheaper, but I'm worried about its performance in games that require higher speeds.

That's understandable, but you might be surprised at how well the 2666 MHz RAM performs. It's more than capable of handling most gaming tasks without any issues.

Alright, I think I'll go with the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2666 MHz DDR4 then. Thanks for all the help and advice!
