What would you choose between 32gb 3200mhz cl16 vs 32gb 3600mhz cl18, both ddr4 memory, same price. Will be used with 12600kf and z690 aorus elite.

Whatever is cheaper. Honestly, it's just not a big enough deal to pay more for one over the other. These days ddr4 3200 cl16 is so cheap that's what I go with for everything.

3600 CL18 has the same real world latency as 3200 CL16,

@toast99 they are the same price

since they are the same price, go for the 3600 kit since it'll give slightly more bandwidth

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
