Ryzen 3800X RAM help

[O_Bedstew]

Would I experience a major difference between 3200MHz CL16, and 3600MHz CL18 on 3800X?

Ram timings etc really confuse me, so sorry if this is a stupid question...

 

Both kits would be G.Skill TridentZ Neo 2x8gb

Not a huge difference but if you can afford the 3600MHz CL18 kit then why not

[O_Bedstew]

The difference i US$6, so yeah thanks

I am not sure that 3600 CL18 is actually any better than 3200 CL 16.  Ryzen seems to care just as much about latency and speed from what I have seen so your probably half dozen one, six the other on this.  The deciding factors might be what type of RAM each kit uses (Samsung B die is superior) and/or if one kit is on the QVL list for your MB and the other isn't.

If you can, get the 3600Mhz CL16 for a few extra $, then there is a difference in performance of several % over the 3200Mhz CL16.

3600mhz CL18 is better than 3200mhz cl16 because you can have the infinity fabric to 1800mhz symetricly. But it's also very likley that 3200mhz cl16 would run on 3600mhz cl18, if you do manual tweaking

If those are going for around 100 $ and you can drop another 25$ . Get a samsung b die 3200 cl14 thats what i did . I was hable yo overclock it to cl 14 15 15 15 at 3600mhz. If you dont no nothing about oc. Just get this one.

If you want rgb just ignore my post xD.

Even though gskill has a 3600 rgb they went up in price was going for 100$ now 115$ not worth it to me and i would just get the corsair c18 and do some timing tweaks.

I have the gskill and the corsair rgb and gskill looks like crap really low rgb light.

The difference between a 3200 CAS 16 kit and 3600 CAS 18  is $10 like you said and the difference between 3600 CAS 18 vs 3600 CAS 16 is like another $10
