3600 CL16 vs 3733 CL17

[rans]

16gb (dual) ddr4 3600 CL16 G.Skill Trident Z Neo
VS
16gb (dual) ddr4 3733 CL17 Patriot Viper Steel 

Which is better performance for Ryzen 7 3700x? 
Thanks!

3600mhz cl16.

 

Tho you really do not have to get 3600mhz. 

 

3200mhz is fine

theres no available 3200mhz 14cl here in my place

He's getting a 3700X, it scales well to 3600/3733 MHz, and even 3800 if he is lucky.

You could get a 4000 MHz Viper Steel or a Teamgroup kit, and run it at 3600-3800 tight timings.

If you just want to run an XMP profile, I'd still go with 3733 Viper Steel, even though it looks ugly

I think it's 3600 16-19-19-39 versus 3733 17-21-21-41? Then they perform the same with their respective XMP profiles with FCLK at half the data rate. That said I've seen CPUs that aren't stable at 1866MHz FCLK, which means even if you get 3733MHz kit you'll have to lower it down to 3600, not running FCLK at half data rate is possible but performance takes a hit.

 

As for tuning potential, they are the same if you ask me.

There are gains, but 3200mhz is still fine.

Im talking regular old cl16. Unless you are manually tuning, aiming for hynix CJR, samsung B-die or crucial E-die doesnt matter. 

[AkSo2504]

3733Mhz CL17= 9,1 ns latency

3600Mhz CL16= 8,9 ns latency

I would go for the 3600

calculation:

(2000 x "CL") / Mhz
