We review the all new RGB series TridentZ DDR4 memory from G.Skill. It's fast at 3600 MHz, it's cool and runs XMP 2.0 memory profiles on Intel platforms as well. Join us as we review not just some of the fastest clocked bars of memory, its among the most cool looking ones as well.

That'd be nice.
Blops 3 i have gained 40fps (iirc like 108 > 150~)just from going from stock 2133 jedec timings to 3200>CL12.
Of course that is an extreme example but it was a case where CPU usage was not maxed nor was GPU in a particular area with lots of effects.
I have noticed a couple other games that ram speeds affect FPS a lot such as overwatch and fo4.
I've even seen different brands of same spec RAM (DDR3 1600 when I was last looking in detail at this kind of info) provide as much as a 9% increase in fps in games.
Curiously not all reviews found significant differences, but enough did that I found. Most certainly not all games are effected of course.
When counting big differences in RAM speed I expect much more interesting differences. Time for a refresh with an upcoming DDR4 system

I know my next one is minimum 3200, and at as tight timings as possible.

That was my approach too when I assembled my rig a few months ago: 3200Mhz RAM and then I just tightened the timings as far as they would go: 15-15-15-32-240 1T
I figured that 3200Mhz was a high enough frequency & that tightening timings would be the way to go.
EDIT: see the tRFC I have at 240 above, make sure you don't end up having something crazy loose in there like 1000 - I've seen someone who made massive gains by lowering tRFC from 1000 to something like 500 - talking something like 3% difference in Physics score on Firestrike! Apparently having a loose tRFC can help achieve higher clocks & tighter timings elsewhere, but it does reduce performance if you have tRFC too loose!

I hoped to see max MHz and lowest timings configs.
Nice review otherwise, cheers.
