Number 3 has lowest case latency which makes it feel snappier.

I'm using 16GB of the Sniper 1600 with my 3570K and it has been fast and flawless for 2 years on.

Fast as compared to what? What is the latency?

I have 2 sets(4x4) F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR. I'm not comparing it to anything else here. I'm simply saying it works very well and is stable under XMP profile and has never erred, crashed or failed in any way since I've been using it. I can't say the same about other memory I've used in the past. G.Skill is good stuff. I'd rank the Trident as their best and then the Sniper followed by Ripjaws X series. I'm sure other people have different experiences.

I am just confused how stating a random piece of ram feels fast when no numbers, specs, or comparisons are drawn. How does that help the OP?

Of the 3 listed by OP the Snipers have the lowest timing. Other than that they are the same. Higher frequency is better and so is lower timing.

Yes and if you note they all have the same frequency which means the next thing is lowest latency.

Yes. You picked the same ones in your reply as I did so I don't know what your point is. I simply had a personal experience with them in addition to the obvious latency. Also, they are on Tom's recommended list. I guess I could have mentioned that.

There are few slight differences between sniper ram they have. So that would have helped, but now I understand.
