G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 in detail
True latency
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 8.89 ns, against 14.06 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 — a difference of 5.18 ns. That figure is what reconciles the two spec sheets: CAS latency counts clock cycles, so it only means something next to the clock it counts. G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL16; Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 runs 2133 MT/s at CL15.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB is rated 3600 MT/s against 2133 MT/s for Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 — 28800 MB/s per module, against 17064 MB/s. That is peak transfer rate, not access time: reaching a higher clock costs more cycles on each access, which is why the CAS numbers differ too, and why the true latency above is the figure that compares directly.
Kit layout
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 ships as 2 × 16GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB is specified at 1.35 V and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 at 1.2 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On the lighting question: G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB does not have RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 16-19-19-39, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 does not publish one. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB supports it, and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 is published with no ECC. Whether ECC is worth having depends on the platform as much as the modules — the board and the CPU have to support it too.
Which to buy
At least one of these kits has no tracked price right now, so this page has no buying answer to give: which is worth more depends on what each costs, and that is exactly what is missing. On specifications alone, G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB has the lower true latency at 8.89 ns.
Common questions about this pair
- Is G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB faster than Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15?
- G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB is, on true latency: 8.89 ns against 14.06 ns. G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL16 and Timetec Premium DDR4-2666 UDIMM 2x16GB 2133 CL15 runs 2133 MT/s at CL15; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
