Question 6400 (36-48-48-104) versus 6000 (36-38-38-80) ?

[Regev]

I'm building a PC for a cousin. Which one better for general use & gaming?

The kits are:

1. Crucial Pro 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36-38-38-80 ($89)
2. Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) 6400MHz CL36-48-48-104 ($107)

Thanks.

Depends on the rest of the system specs, but I would probably lean towards the 6400 kit. Ideally you want a ddr5 6000 cl30 kit if possible.

Cl is high for those frequencies but Cl being equal, that Corsair is better. Good RAM at 6000Mhz should have Cl30 and 6400MHz Cl32-34.
