RAM: Higher Speed or lower CAS Latency?
RAM: Higher Speed or lower CAS Latency?
I'm unsure which 16GB RAM kit to pick. I need to decide between the Corsair Vengeance LPX and G.Skill Ripjaws V. Both are budget-friendly options in Germany, offering DDR4-3200 or 3600 memory with different CAS latencies. Speed matters, but CAS latency can affect performance, especially when paired with specific CPUs like the Ryzen 3600 or 3300X. It seems the advice to prioritize speed over latency might not always apply. Consider testing both in real conditions to see which performs better for your setup. Thanks!
the lpz offers significantly improved timing. 3600mhz cl19 equals 3200mhz cl17. 3600mhz cl18 matches 3200mhz cl16 and continues the pattern.
