DDR4-3200 cas16 or DDR4-3000 cas15 ?

[user000]

I'm planning to buy some memory.

which one would you choose?

 

 

3200 MHz cas16  http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f43200c16q32gvk

or

3000 MHz cas15  http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f43000c15q32gvr

the black one unless you are going for a red build, the difference is negligible.

[TheGrim123321]

The cheapest one, there wont be much maybe a 10% difference if that between the two memories

Why are you getting high speed ram?

2666 MHz (insert satan joke) would fine for most things.

build is red-black-white, so any of those will do, colourwise.

price difference is not so much, was wondering if there's any real performance difference..

I know there won't be much, just wanted to know how things are because of those frequency-latency values

Hmm..

Has been shown lately hi freq ram is slightly beneficial for games..

cheapest 32 gb 2666 about 160 pound

cheapest 32 gb 3200 about 215 pound

 

so dunno, is it worth it 50 pound for a difference 2666 to 3200..(~500 Mhz) in real life?

Not really.

If it costs $20 more than 2400MHz. Go ahead, if not. NO!

Ok, thanks guys.

No, not at all. And 32 gb. Its also not worth at all.

[user000]

one more thing..

 

how much does it matter if its dual channel or quad channel?

quad sounds better but by how much, barely nothing?

Yup.

Watch it after 1:45.

They have exact the same latency, so 3200 is better.

However price to performance is an other story.

Your board can use these? Also many seems to have issues with 3000MHz RAM lately...
