Hello, I want to buy a new ram and can't decide which one: G.SKILL Aegis F4-3000C16D-16GISB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz CL16 or G.SKILL Ripjaws V F4-3600C19D-16GVRB DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz CL19
Trouble is that I don't know what's the difference between 3000 mhz and 3600 mhz. Can you give me an advice?
My specs:
GPU: Nvidia gigabyte rtx 2060 super gaming oc
CPU: Intel Core i5 9600k
Motherboard: MPG Z390 Gaming Plus
PSU: ATX 700W (I don't remember exactly)
 
Solution
CL19 is a little high for 3600Mhz memory, but other than the latency penalty (lower is better) 3600Mhz memory has more bandwidth than 3000Mhz memory. Doesn't make that much difference to an Intel system, maybe a few FPS in games.
