Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB in detail
True latency
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB is the lower-latency kit at 10.00 ns, against 13.75 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB — a difference of 3.75 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. Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16; Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22.
Transfer rate
Both kits are rated 3200 MT/s, which is 25600 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
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB is tracked at 149,99 € — 9,37 € per gigabyte — and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB at 106,99 €, or 6,69 €. Both are 16GB kits, so the totals compare directly: Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB is 43,00 € less than Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB.
Kit layout
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB is specified at 1.35 V and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB 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: Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB does not have RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB runs 16-20-20-40, and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB does not publish one. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB supports it, and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB 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
Neither of these leads outright, so there is no single answer to give. Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB costs less at the prices tracked here; Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB has the lower true latency, 10.00 ns against 13.75 ns. Which of those two is worth more is a judgement about the machine and the budget, and this page does not make it for a reader.
