PliSsK Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 On my Z370 based desktop with i7-8700K, I currently have Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x16GB 3000MHz (CMK32GX4M2B3000C15), with Tested Latency 15-17-17-35. I don't use the machine for gaming but general office type use. How much difference would it make if I were to swap out the RAM for another with higher frequency like 3600MHz but with marginally higher latency? e.g. Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3600 (16-18-18-38) Patriot Viper Steel DDR-3600 (Base Timings 15-15-15-36, Tested Timings 18-22-22-42) Thanks!

PliSsK Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 I guess not. I was looking at RAM comparisons and for most desktop use, 3200 does seem to be the sweet spot and it doesn't seem worth upgrading with C16 3200 RAM if I already have C15 3000, so the only RAM probably worth considering is some of the G-Skill 3200 C14 RAM but it is so expensive and the gain possibly not that huge, that it's not worth it.

sop3l Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 From my own experience, I will say that you will not feel the difference with office use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
