Ram Difference (besides cost)

[CalvinHobbesN7]

Hello everyone,

 

Today's question is the difference between G.SKILL's F4-3200C16Q-64GTZKW ($750 usd) and F4-3200C15Q-64GTZSW ($850 usd).

 

To my untrained eye, they're both 4x16gb sets of DDR4-3200 RAM and should perform exactly the same. What is the difference that I'm missing, and what is the benefit to the $850 offering (if any)?

 

Cheers,

The $850 ones have slightly tighter timing, C15 over C16. 

 

Not worth $100 for that though, you can manually set them to be tighter.

Seems one has a tighter timing and sub timing settings, and maybe a better IC on the stick, not sure. Both should hit CL14 3400MHz with some overclocking and overvolting though, unless they're really crappy IC's in which case I'd return them for that price.
