G. SKILL Trident Z F4-3000C15D-16GTZ vs F4-3000C15D-16GTZB

Not really sure of the difference between these? Can anyone explain? They have both on their site with no verbal or technical explanation. Is there something I'm missing? Is it for matching up pairs? I'm interested in these but I have no idea which to buy.

Tested Latency is different

The plain Z has slightly tighter timings 15-15-15-35 vs 15-16-16-35 of the 'ZB', both run at a CL (CAS latency) of 15 but the original tighter timings are slightly better and will indicate slightly more OC headroom, the difference is minimal

Which would you recommend I get?

Performance wise, you wouldn't really see any difference - the plain Z might show a small better set of numbers in BMs

 

[Tweed]

Is it worth spending $20 more?

 

[Tradesman1]

I wouldn't think so 😉

 

[Tweed]

Ok thank you . Last question. Would you recommend Kingston HyperX Fury, G.Skill Ripjaw V/4/TridentZ, or Corsair Dominator

Looking to getting 16 GB, Hopefully CAS 15 or lower, DDR4, and that its fast

Tri Z, then Ripjaw V, next Corsair Dom's then the Fury
