Notable difference between 3200Mhz and 3000Mhz memory?

neviditelny · 24 Jun 2019 at 22:57

I'm at the moment using 2x8Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz memory sticks (unsure about the timings at the moment). I've been thinking about going for a set of 2x16gb memory sticks and there seems to be more options in the 3000Mhz range than the 3200Mhz at the moment

My main question would be, would I notice any real difference between 3000Mhz and 3200Mhz memory?

Processor wise I'm on a i7-6700K so don't think that will be a problem there.

Unlikely, unless you spend all of your time running benchmarks. Even then it'd depend on the relative timings.

That's what I thought. So I will probably order some new memory sticks soon and then my brother can have the sticks I have now in his new computer

I noticed a difference going from c16 2400 to c14 3200, everything just feels snappier.

these low latency timing memory look like they are fast

Yup, that's what I use

In the grand scheme of things, there isn't a massive difference between the two save perhaps for the price. I would save the money.

I wondered about that. The low latency memory is a lot more expensive.

But a lot cheaper than it was a year or so ago. I think I remember these (8pack C14) being about £220. Good memory and looks smart too.

Two years ago I bought 2 x 16gb Corsair 2400 for my daughters 1700 at a cost of £400. Now they are £129

Prices went crazy 3 yrs ago and have returned to normal. The team group dark pro edition are much more expensive than other 3200 16gb memory but that won’t stop me buying some shortly for a Ryzen 3600 build.

I dont think so, its a small difference unless the timings are different as well.

hard to find sweetspot per/price but cl14 3200 would very much so overclock
