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.
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
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 Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB has the lower true latency, 10.00 ns.
Common questions about this pair
- Is Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB faster than Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB?
- Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB is, on true latency: 10.00 ns against 13.75 ns. Netac Shadow II DDR4-3200 2x8GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL16 and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22; the CAS numbers alone do not settle it, because they count clock cycles rather than time.
- Which of these two should I buy?
