Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600 MHz
Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600 MHz
On the webshop you’ll find two kits with identical performance but different pricing. The main distinction lies in the middle part of the model codes—D and Z—and a €10 variation. From reviews, some suggest the 3600CL18 offers better performance with Ryzen2 compared to the 3200CL16. If you’re choosing between them, the Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600CL18 with G.Skill DDR4 Trident-Z 2x8GB 3600MHz CL18 is recommended for its speed and value, especially if you prioritize performance over RGB lighting.
Choose the more affordable or aesthetically pleasing option. Assuming the Corsair model is cheaper, opt for it. If prices match, prefer the one with a D support for 300 and 400 series AMD boards, X570, or Intel chipsets. The Z variant only supports X570 and standard Intel chipsets. Pick the most suitable unless you're using a 300 series board or Ryzen 1000, which may still have memory compatibility concerns.
The CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 runs slower SPD and appears to be an older model due to those performance limits as well as its compatibility with certain older systems. Those platforms aren't crucial when using X570, but overall you shouldn't stress about it much. Generally, memory matters more than those speeds. I’d just verify your motherboard’s QVL and pick the model that matches (at 3600Mhz) or opt for the more affordable option.
