Which is better ?
F4-3600C17D-16GTZR Trident Z RGB DDR4-3600MHz CL17-18-18-38 1.35V
16GB (2x8GB)
or
F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 1.35V
16GB (2x8GB)

I heard that NEO is better supportable for AMD.
 
Solution
The CL 16 will be fastest. Some Ryzen motherboards don't like odd number CL (17), so if you choose those, you need to change a setting in the bios. It's called geardown mode. Toggle it on/off to use CL17 DIMMS.

The other sub timings don't drastically change much in terms of performance.
