I'm in the process of building a new PC and I'm considering whether to upgrade my RAM from CL36 to CL30, especially since there's a €30 price increase involved. Here are my current specs: I'm using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, a Thermalright liquid CPU cooler, an MSI B650 motherboard, and a Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD. Given that I'm already investing heavily in my setup, should I go for the CL30 RAM, or will the difference in performance be negligible?

Honestly, if you’re going all out on this build, the CL30 RAM might be worth it just for that little bit of extra performance in benchmarks. But most people won’t notice the difference in everyday use. Also, consider upgrading to a B850 motherboard—it's not a big jump in price and could improve your overall system performance!
Yeah, I’ve heard the vertical mounting issues with Gigabyte cards can cause trouble, so it might be better to stick with horizontal. Just make sure to keep an eye on thermal performance!
