Ram Spec Question

[Bop]

Ram will be used with an Intel Core I9-9900K and an Asus Strix Z390-E motherboard.

 

So the question is. CL18 3600 MHz Ram 32GB's 8GBx4 Config or CL16 3200MHz 32GB's 8GBx4 Config.

 

Will I really notice the difference in performance dropping down my speed 400 to utilize that CL16 or should I just stick with the 3600. I know this is a much bigger debate on AMD based systems and I think it matters a bit less on Intel platforms but none the less wanted to ask.

Do you own those parts or are you buying them?

I wouldn't buy a 9900K at this time.

I am buying soon. Why?

the 10700k just came which is a 9900k for less out but  for most people a 3700x or a 3900x is a much better value.

The 10700K has a much higher TDP 30W's more than the 9900K along with I have already gotten the Board, so I would have to return the board to get an LGA 1200 Socket board. I definitly thought about the 10700K but there's just more info out on the 9900K and I was already kinda set on it. Along with I am an Intel die hard so I wouldn't get an AMD CPU if we're being 100% honest.

 

So like will the ram CL speeds matter much on an intel based system?

return the baord. the 10700k is faster for a lower cost. it is a better buy

and you are messing up your wallet right there a 3700x is like 90-95% of there perforamce for 280 vs 410 for the price of a 10700k you could get a 3900x

I would say 3000Mhz CL16 would be same as 3200MHz CL17 more or less so as long as CL is not stupidly high its no issue!

I really get it. Like you want me to save my money get the better CPU etc. I am already set on these parts and I am not going AMD.

 

The post was about ram Latency speeds mattering on an Intel based system with a 9900k, and a Asus Strix Z390-E board. I have had a job throughout all of Covid and for the past year. Pay little rent and save a lot of my money. I have the money to burn on the exact parts that I want lmao.

So just go with the 3200Mhz CL16 over the 3600 CL18? I was already planning on it because the price is just such a huge difference for a 400Mhz difference with a higher latency aswell lmao

you don't seem to get it. you are tossing away 100-150$ buy gettting a 9900k over a 10700k they are the same chip but the 10700k is cheaper

over the last 1.5 years parts have changed and what you think is best has changed.

I didn't say they were the best parts. I am saying there is not as much information on the 10700K as there is on the 9900K. I am getting the 9900K purely based on the access to information on the CPU. I do not care that I am getting a chip that is $150 more for like 5% less power. than then 10700K. Again I have the money to spend that extra $150. This is not a budget build and I do not have a budget so I am getting the parts that I want lmao

Also remember to look up on the board and CPU specs if you go over CPU specs its a overclock, board is more of a issue for compatibility.

what info are you after for the 10700k that doesn't exist?

Just cus you have the money doesn't mean you should blow it.
