As above. Looking at the 3200 MHz CL 14 kit at £420, the 3600 MHz CL 16 kit at £429 and the 4000 MHz CL 18 kit at £450.

Specific questions:

1) Will the faster clock speed kits be able to down clock to the tighter timings of the lesser kits: So for example, will the 4000 MHz kit almost certainly be stable at 3600 CL 16?

2) The 3200 kit has lower latency than both of the slightly more expensive kits for most primary commands, except "Time Row Active" / TRAS. Is there any good reason you would pay more for the higher latency, faster clocked kits?

3) What are the Command Rate latency ticks for these modules. If it does not say, am I safe to assume that it would be TCMD = 2?

Any general advice on the best choice. Thanks a bunch in advance memory guru / fellow geeks.
 
If your on x299 with a hcc part ie 12 core or above I would go 3200mhz c14. This will run stable with full OC on the cpu.

If you on 10 or less cores you can go 3600 c16. 4000 in quad channel and you need a very good imc. It is possible but more the cpu is the issue than the mems.
 
Hmm. Thank you for the insight.

I am on LCC, so probably bound by the 3600 MHz statistical boundary. Will a higher speed (>3600) quad memory kit be more likely to do 3600 at lower latency / clock cycle timings than CL16?
 
No not without voltage or even stricter binning. Just run 3600c16 it's very solid or with lcc probably run these 3733mhz c16-c18...
