G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB vs Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB in detail
True latency
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB is the lower-latency kit at 8.89 ns against 13.75 ns for Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB, 4.86 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. G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB runs 3600 MT/s at CL16; Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB runs 3200 MT/s at CL22.
Transfer rate
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB carries the higher rating, 3600 MT/s to 3200 MT/s for Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB — 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.
Price and tracked history
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB is tracked at $117.00, or $7.31 per gigabyte; Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB at $101.99, or $6.37. At the same 16GB, that puts Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB $15.01 less than G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB. G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB's $117.00 sits 38% under its own 90-day median.
Kit layout
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks on both sides, so they populate a board's slots the same way.
Voltage
G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 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 requests from the board.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On lighting: G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB is published with no RGB lighting, and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB is published with no RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple — the numbers after CAS — G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB is 16-19-19-39, and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB publishes none. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB has it, and Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB is published without ECC. 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
The two split the axes this page measures, so no one kit is the answer. The lower tracked price belongs to Timetec Premium DDR4-3200 UDIMM 2x8GB; the lower true latency to G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3600 2x8GB, 8.89 ns against 13.75 ns. Weighing money against latency is a decision about the machine, and it stays with the reader.
Common questions about this pair
