G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB vs TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB in detail
True latency
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is the lower-latency kit at 7.78 ns, against 8.89 ns for G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB — a difference of 1.11 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; TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL14.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3600 MT/s, which is 28800 MB/s per module. Their spec sheets part company on CAS latency rather than on clock, so the true-latency figures above are what separates them.
Price and tracked history
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB is tracked at $349.99 — $10.94 per gigabyte — and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB at $299.99, or $9.37. Both are 32GB kits, so the totals compare directly: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB is $50.00 less than G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB. At $349.99, G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB is running 26% below its own 90-day median. $299.99 is the lowest price this site has recorded for TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB.
Kit layout
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x16GB ships as 2 × 16GB and TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB 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 TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x16GB at 1.45 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
