TeamGroup Zeus 16Gb (8x2) DDR4 3200Mhz CL 16-20-20-40 / 61€ offers a compact design with a 16-20-20-40 latency profile. The Ballistix 16Gb (8x2) DDR4 3200Mhz CL 16-18-18-36 / 68€ provides similar speed but with a different latency curve. The main distinction lies in the overall response time differences. How much faster does the Ballistix perform compared to the Zeus? The cost isn’t the only factor—ordering the Ballistix separately adds extra steps. Is it worth the effort?
Apple Silicon M1/M2 processors on compatible Intel or AMD motherboards.
5GHz RAM module for gaming laptops, 12GB DDR4 support, Asus Tuf series.
If you're just gonna enable XMP, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're gonna try to overclock the RAM I'd want to Ballistix since it's guaranteed to be Micron Rev. E and should overclock pretty nice, but the 12400 you've got doesn't have unlocked VCCSA voltages so overclocking RAM on it is mostly fruitless (you can't overvolt the memory controller so the speeds where you'll start noticing improvements aren't exactly possible to hit). If it were me, I'd just get the TeamGroup kit. 2 ticks on tRCD and tRP aren't really that meaningful in the grand scheme of things.
No, that's not what I meant. I was anticipating something else.
Yeah, I won't be increasing the speed.
In the end, I might not receive the TeamGroup. I could choose G.Skill Aegis as it matches the specifications: G.Skill Kit 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz Aegis CL16-18-18-38, priced at 66.50€—similar to the previous RAMs. Just like the TeamGroup, I don’t need to place an order.
