I'm trying to decide between two RAM options for gaming: the Lexar Ares 7600MHz C36 and the G.Skill RIPJAW 6400MHz C32. Right now, both are priced reasonably compared to recent price increases, with the Lexar being $36 cheaper. However, I'm curious about how the higher MHz affects gaming performance. Is there a significant difference in performance between these two, and should I be concerned about the MHz when it comes to gaming?

If those prices are still reflecting the old rates, just a heads up that availability might be tricky. Generally, the 6400MHz RAM might work well out-of-the-box with AMD's AM5, needing just minor tweaks for peak performance. On the other hand, the 7600MHz might not perform as well initially and will definitely require more tweaking to get optimal results.
Should I go for the 6400MHz instead? I'm not super experienced with PC building; I'll mainly be using the PC for gaming. I can follow a tutorial for tweaks, but that's about it.
