Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL19 vs V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB in detail

True latency

V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns against 10.56 ns for Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL19, 0.56 ns between them. That is the figure that reconciles the two spec sheets: a CAS number counts cycles, and cycles mean nothing apart from the rate they are counted at. Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL19 runs 3600 MT/s at CL19; V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16.

Transfer rate

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL19 carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 3200 MT/s for V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB — 28800 MB/s per module against 25600 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: a higher clock is reached by counting more cycles for each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too and why the true latency above is the directly comparable figure.

Kit layout

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL19 ships as 2 × 16GB and V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.

Lighting, timings and ECC

On lighting: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL19 is published with no RGB lighting, and V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL19 is 16-20-20-38, and V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB is 16-18-18-38. On error correction: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 2x16GB 3600 CL19 is published without ECC, and the catalog does not state whether V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB has it. ECC is a board and CPU feature as much as a module one, so it is worth having only where the platform can use it.

Which to buy

Without a tracked price for both, this page cannot say which to buy — the answer depends on cost, and cost is what is absent. What the specifications do say is that V-Color Skywalker Plus DDR4-3200 2x16GB has the lower true latency, 10.00 ns.
