[SOLVED] Solved

[Deleted member 2888182]

Specs:
ASUS TUF F15 FX506LI laptop (used mostly for gaming)
CPU: 10th gen i5-10300H
GPU: GTX 1650 Ti
RAM: Micron (Crucial) 8GB 3200MHz 22CL (8ATF1G64HZ-3G2J1) + Samsung 8GB 3200MHz (M471A1K43DB1-CWE)
Motherboard supports max. of 2933MHz for memory
Storage: Micron (Crucial) 512GB NVME M.2 SSD

Issue
Checked CPU-Z & Aida64, both confirming RAM modules working in dual-channel mode (128), but CPU-Z SPD shows slightly different timing tables between RAM modules.
I had no Memtest86+ error or any frequent crash or freeze (only one BSOD regarding driver problem & no more, system is completely stable).
BIOS doesn't have any section to OC or change RAM timings (even in advanced mode).

1. Will motherboard use the RAM with higher latency & lower frequency?
2. How much of an impact does it have on my gaming performance?
3. Is it worth sell the worse one & get an identical RAM module to the other one?
   
   

Thanks in advance & any advice is appreciated

the latency wont matter since it's an intel comet lake processor, also the timing will follow the looser one ex. you bought CL16 ram and currently having cl18 ram, the cl16 ram will use cl18 timings as the same as the cl18 ram.

Well if you want to buy a lower latency ram kit, probably it wont matter alot since it's a mobile device, so i would say it's not worth the trade.

If you notice in both cpuz's on the modules, the only thing that is different when comparing the modules is that there is one JEDEC standard that is not available on each of the other's module. Now, that actually doesn't mean squat as far as how they are currently running, but gives you an idea of what they potentially could be pairing up to run at. But they are paired up and running fine, so unless they're running below 2933, don't worry about it.

It will impact in a sense that it'll default to the loosest timing out of the two i.e. one having 14-15-15-23, another having 16-18-18-39 you'd get the later on both ram.

Oddly enough, someone just recently posted where their slower ram actually synced with the existing model's slightly tighter timings, so why usually both will run at the looser modules timings, sometimes the opposite happens.

Even though your ram is running at the right speed, because it is rated for higher speed operation, if your motherboard supports it, I would use the specifications on the modules for 3200Mhz operation and see if it works. It won't be a huge speed boost, but every bit counts if you've already paid for it.
