You should align all timing measurements, not just CAS latency, across different RAM configurations.

I've checked the available options, but the search results only show matching latencies around CL16. The listings you mentioned all have timings of 16-18-18-36 at that speed. In Spain, many 2x8GB kits are found on sites like Wallapop, but they list 16-18-18-38 at CL16. It looks like the higher latency might be a real issue if you aim for 32GB. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
No option exists to adjust timing for individual RAM modules. Mixing kits will use the default 16-18-18-38 C16 setting. Overclocking to 16-18-18-36 should be feasible. I successfully achieved a 16-18-18-36 rated kit running at 16-16-16-32 without problems.
Thanks guys, I will grab one! 40 euros for the upgrade from 16 to 32 is great! I wish we had US prices for components in EU...
