Massive? Not really. Visible? Just when your processor is overwhelmed.

in high cpu scenarios dual rank may show a 10% variation, while cl18 and cl16 typically have around 2%

It would make more sense to purchase a RAM module featuring a specific memory IC recognized for its ability to overclock, like the Micron 8Gbit Rev.E or the Samsung 8Gbit B-die.

The 3600MHz CL18 model is similar to the 3200MHz CL16 but costs more. If you need RAM for your Ryzen processor, consider a 16GB 2x8GB Crucial Ballistix Kit with 3600MHz CL16.
