Question RAM I wanted sold out whats next best option

[Impala640]

Hi, I was looking at this ram https://www.newegg.ca/g-skill-16gb-...cription=ram&cm_re=ram-_-20-232-880-_-Product but it is sold out so what is my next best option because at this point I just want to have a good pc and I don't care because the corsair ram has a CAS of 18 and the one I showed had a CAS of 16 but will I really notice the difference but I don't want to wait for the ram to be restocked.

What is your CPU and motherboard model going to be? Yes, it matters.

oh i just found that similar ram is available https://www.newegg.ca/g-skill-16gb-...-memory+(desktop+memory)-_-g.skill-_-20232880 but one person said it wasnt as good as ram that was 3200 cas 16 so idk if i should just go with teh cas 18 3600 ram from corsair that is support to be good

Yes, that memory should work with that system no problem.

That memory IS G.Skill. I personally like G.Skill better than most other brands of memory. Corsair is ok too, especially their higher end stuff like the Dominator platinum. The Vengeance sticks will work in many cases but it's not particularly high grade memory.

For G.Skill I like to stick to at least the Ripjaws, but preferably the Trident Z sticks.

What makes the biggest difference currently, on any memory between 3000-3600mhz is whether or not it is Samsung B-die (ICs/memory chips used on the module) as those are the highest quality currently available but they will be getting scarce before long as Samsung will no longer be making them and instead will focus on A-die ICs.

For you, those are fine. The price is good and the performance difference between a CL16 3600 and CL14 3600 set of sticks isn't enough to want to pay twice the price for them.

If you don't mind reducing the memory speed a bit, which is probably not going to affect the overall speed because the very low latency is going to offset that to some degree, these would also be a very good choice with a CAS 14 (CL14) latency timing and are very high quality sticks using Samsung B-die ICs and specifically made for Ryzen platforms.

I think i'll just go with this kit but there is a large probability of me getting some trident Z RGB ram and getting a 32gb kit just for bragging rights and for editing vids but the Ripjaws ram im looking at seems pretty good https://www.newegg.ca/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232880?Item=N82E16820232880

Like I said, that memory should work fine.
