Comparison of 3600 CL16 and 3733 CL17 models
Comparing the two options for your Ryzen 7 3700X. The first model offers dual 16GB DDR4 3600 CL16, while the second has dual 16GB DDR4 3733 CL17. Which provides better performance depends on your specific needs and budget.
He receives a 3700X rating, which performs well across 3600/3733 MHz and up to 3800 MHz if conditions are favorable. Options include a 4000 MHz Viper Steel or a Teamgroup setup, operating at tight 3600-3800 frequencies. For an XMP profile, 3733 Viper Steel remains the best choice despite its appearance.
I believe the numbers point to 3600 16-19-19-39 compared with 3733 17-21-21-41. When using their respective XMP profiles and operating at half the data rate, the results align. I've noticed CPUs that struggle at 1866MHz FCLK, so even a 3733MHz board would need to be reduced to 3600. Lowering FCLK isn't feasible without sacrificing performance, though tuning capabilities remain consistent.
3733Mhz CL17 has a latency of 9.1 ns, while CL16 offers 8.9 ns. I’d prefer the 3600 figure: (2000 multiplied by each CL value) divided by MHz.
