For best clock speed and timings

The clock speeds and timings are listed on ram. You want high clock speed and low timings but it generally doesn't make much of a difference in performance and it's less significant the faster the ram. 

I already recommended a Bolt X kit in your last thread and it'll perform the same as any other 2x16gb 3200mhz CL16 kit. 

There are faster kits but they're substantially more expensive for little to no noticeable performance difference for your use case.

If price is not a problem, I'd go with 64gb of ram instead of spending more for slightly faster ram. 

Hi guys!

 

I've been asking alot of questions these days and i got all the answers i wanted. Now is the last step, RAM choices between Corsair and Gskill. What model is the best for 32GB?

The most important is performance, RGB is a bonus!

*Let's say if price is not a problem

 

Thanks guys!

Brand alone makes no difference in performance. The performance depends on the clock speed and timings.

3600MHz kit with the lowest timings (smallest number) in your budget, is the best for performance.

Yes before i post this, i did seeyour comment again but i thought corsair/gskill will have better performance haha.

Now i know it's not about brand but clockspeed and timings :D

 

Thanks again sir!

its about clockspeed and timings when it comes to  performance. 

 

and dies when it comes to overclockability, and in fringe cases, about how much ram you memmory controller can handle at high speeds (exceeding 3200mhz). 

 

but looking out for dietypes is pointless unless you are manually overclocking more or less.
