I mean, the CL16 kit is better, but certainly not 40 quid better.

 

Unless you can't spend that money elsewhere in a way that would make a more notable difference (better GPU, storage, fans, etc.), I'd get the CL18 kit or a 3200 CL16 kit if it's cheaper.

Hi I was wondering which RAM is more worth it, and is there a significant performance difference between c16 and c18 3600Mhz RAM?

 

The RAM in question is Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB. The c18 one is £82.48, and the c16 is £126.50

 

Thanks!
