3200mhz cl16 and 3600mhz cl18 function identically...just use the higher if 3600mhz is cl16 or below.

Is there RAM installed in the system? If you're updating rather than swapping, remember it will function at the lower end of the available configurations.

Depends on the cas latency like there’s usually a latency number that is near how many MHz it’s says like here for instance this is the number we mean where it says cas latency The faster the cas latency the faster the ram so 3200mhz ram with a cas latency of 16 will perform better then let say 3200mhz ram with a cas latency of 18 same applies for other MHz like 3000 MHz and 3600mhz I would say as long as it has a cas latency of 18 and below you will be good anything higher I wouldn’t recommend you want something in the middle cos if you get 3600mhz with a cas latency of 16 it comes to almost £200 and around 220 usd so I would recommend somewhere in the middle and get 3600mhz with a cas latency Of 18 and that way the ram isnt overpriced and if your not happy with that then go for 3200mhz with a cas latency of 16 but it’s personally up to you

In gaming it doesn't really count, it's better to opt for a 3200mhz option.
