I was about to order 3200 CL16 but then I was told the 3600 CL18 32gb would be more beneficial for my guild.

5800x.

Which one should I go for? Even from watching videos it shows the 3600 will give a fps increase. Kind of confused about this CL situation. Which would be best for me?

or which do i choose from this

3600 cl17
3600 cl18

In absolute time those latencies are same 10 ns, so higher frequency with more bandwidth and faster IF bus speed wins.
(though 5800X has all core to core communication going without IF)
And at same frequency lower latency is better.
Tough always better to chech that also other latencies than CAS are better.

Another factor would be number of memory ranks per channel.
Command interleaving of two ranks per channel makes for example 3200 Mhz equal to otherwise faster 3600 MHz.

I think I'm going to order the 3600 cl17. what are your thoughts? Originally I had the 3200 cl16 picked but I changed it.
