Looking for a 32gb memory kit for a new 3800x build.

Which of the following would be best? Both are 2 X 8gb.

Gskill Trident Z Neo 3600mhz CL18

Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 3200mhz CL16

The gskill would be £5 or £6 cheaper.

They both will perform the same but I personally would get the g skill and try to tighten the timings.

If looks are important then get what you prefer.

Thanks. I've read the gskill might be poorer die and hard to tighten up?

Would say either of these kits would be better unless the RGB is a must and being Samsung B-die they would have lots of OC headroom.

Well maybe you run them at higher speed but really there both good options.
