Provide any additional details you wish below.

A buddy has already purchased the MB and CPU. I was talking with him and he is only running 2133 RAM. I know that Zen+ in particular enjoys faster memory and that the Infinity Fabric runs at the speed of the RAM. However, I do not know the max IF speed to target for a 1:1 ratio for best results. My gut thinks 3600 C16 in a 4x8 or 4x16 config but I want to be sure that this will run.

Yes I know Threadripper is not the first recommendation for gaming. This was purchased before my involvement and I just want to help him get the most out of it. I have googled but have not been able top find the max IF speed of this chip.
