Which ram is better for my RYZEN 2600x

Title... (Both are DDR4 16 GB: 2 x 8 GB)

 

Corsair Vengeance LPX - 3000 MHz - CL15

G.Skill Sniper X - 3600MHz - CL19
 

Thanks in advance!

What about 3200 MHz and 16CL?

Those first two kits are pretty meh.  3200CL16 is adequate.

any other options? 

 

3200mhz CL16 is Good, fine, reasonable!

So the 3200 CL16 would preform better than the two other options? (What would be the prefered, if money wasn't an issue?)

So highest speed with lowest CL?

@held1996 yes, try to find a balance between clockspeed and tight timings.

Generally: C16 with anything above 3000mhz is sweet-spot. C19 is very loose timing, does not worth it IMHO.

 

Do you have a reference site where we can browse through available options? Country in which you'll buy? Budget?

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

If you want to run XMP and nothing else then finding a 3600CL15 kit would be best, but I haven't seen any in stock in a while.  If you can tune the RAM yourself (not difficult) then finding a fast kit with a lower CL to be tuned down in speed and CL would also work well.  So like a 4000CL17 kit or a 4400CL19 kit tuned down to a 3600CL14 setup.

Is the site I am looking through right now, I guess I am generally looking to buy from country in the EU (From Denmark) since else I would have to pay too much in import and transport.

 

And I dont think i would spend too much on them, so like 700 kr. Which I can get the 3200 CL16 for

Okay thanks!

And it is just posible to tune them like that? Could I overclock the 2133 I have now?

While you could probably get some more out of that 2133 kit you aren't likely going to get much.  Tuning a kit down is usually far easier then overclocking up.

What stupid site sorts by the PC4 rating and not the MHz?
