DDR4 3200mhz cl14 or DDR4 3600mhz cl18 for a i9 9900k @stock

[coimbraa]

need help to buy! pls helpme guys

If the prices are similar I would choose the 3600MHz kit, though either kit should be fine.

If you want to OC manually then you can likely push the 3200MHz CL14 higher as its a better bin than 3600MHz CL18 but if you just want to enable XMP and be done with it then just get the 3600MHz CL18 (assuming its not more expensive).

XMP: 3600Mhz CL18

 

Manual: 3200MHz Cl14

 

What are the full timings for each kit?

3200cl14

[Nena Trinity]

3200MHZ CL14 is 8,75ns (faster)

 

3600MHz CL18 is 10ns (more bandwith)

 

NOTE: For Ryzen I would take more MHz but for Intel I am not so sure maybe go for speed?

I'd do 4000mhz on Intel for XMP. The latency is so good that timings have minimal effect at this frequency unless you are competitively benchmarking for numbers

3200MHz is probably B-die, the 3600MHz is gonna be pretty much anything,

Do you want to manually overclock your RAM?

 

If the answer is no,then get whichever is cheaper.

 

If the answer is yes, get the 3200MHz cl14 kit.

[xg32]

the cl14 kit is straight up just better
