Question Corsair VENGEANCE® LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C16

[Niteowl0171]

I'm putting a new budget build together and have a question. Is the Corsair VENGEANCE® LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C16 anygood? I"ve uses the LPX in the past and have been reliable but noticed on Amazon while the reviews are 5 star but only hass like 400+ reviews compared to the 3600MHZ CL18 ones which has over 7k 5 star reviews and would think it would be reversed as CL16 is better than CL18

its probably either the "cl18 was cheaper" , or some people just dont bother to do reviews. (i sometimes forget when i buy stuff).
normally "cl16" is faster and the more logical choice" if gaming, if mostly doing other stuff then "CL18" will be just as good.. i always got "cl18" as it was so easily available locally and in stores.

It would be for gaming which I only play World of Warcraft so the cl16 wouldbe the better choice

yes for gaming faster clocks speeds and higher ram speeds are best.. so cl16 @3600 mhz would be a good choice..

what cpu are you pairing it with and motherboard

 

[Niteowl0171]

what cpu are you pairing it with it will

it will be a MSI B760 with the i5 12600KF

it will be a MSI B760 with the i5 12600KF

which version msi make many example msi b760 tomahawk etc

 

[steveb1976]

12600kf takes DDR5 ram,, as does the msi b760 boards.. so the "CL16" and "CL18" is void.. the equivalent would be "CL30" and "CL32"..

 

[Niteowl0171]

Its going to be the B760-P DDR4 version which can handle up to 5333mhz

The msi b760-P has 2 versions a DDR4 and a DDR5 both supports the i5 12600kf which also supports either version of ram

ah yes.. i see.. i knew there was boards out there like that. ive just not come across one of them.. then both lots of info i gave you will help you with ddr4 and ddr5 when you upgrade to that.
