I'm considering two options for RAM: one kit has 32GB at 7200MHz, while the other is the same capacity but operates at 6800MHz. I'm planning to underclock both to 6000MHz and potentially reduce the latency to CL30. The 7200MHz kit costs about $55 more, so I'm curious if that extra expense is justified for future-proofing, or if it's just a waste of money.

The 7200MHz RAM is likely better binned, which means it's capable of higher performance with better stability at overclocking. If hitting CL30 is crucial for your setup, you might want to consider that. But if you just need to lower the speed to 6000MHz, the 6800MHz option might already meet your needs without the extra cost.
So, would you say the extra investment is worth it? And I've heard the term 'binned' before, but what does it actually mean?
