I'm currently using CL48 RAM, and I'm wondering if switching to CL30 or CL32 RAM would provide a significant performance boost on my 7800X3D processor. I've heard mixed opinions, especially regarding Ryzen builds. What do you all think? Would I actually notice any difference in real-world scenarios?

You might notice a difference when it comes to higher frame rates. If you're playing games around 60 FPS, it could be hard to tell the upgrade's worth.
Some experts suggest a 10% difference or more with the upgrade, but it varies from game to game.
In practical gaming, you probably won't see a big difference. While some might say there's a noticeable improvement, it really depends on what you're doing with your rig.
Yeah, if you’re mainly gaming at lower FPS, it might not be worth the hassle.
Upgrading from stock to lower CL like CL30 can lead to some improvements, but they might not be earth-shattering. The X3D cache minimizes the impact of RAM timings.
It'll likely help with 1% lows more than average frame rates, so if you're sensitive to that, it'll be beneficial.
That's a good point; I've noticed my setup feels smoother during intense sessions.
