TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB CL18 vs Timetec Pinnacle Konduit DDR4-3200 2x8GB in detail
True latency
Both kits land on 10.00 ns by different routes: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB CL18 at 3600 MT/s at CL18, Timetec Pinnacle Konduit DDR4-3200 2x8GB at 3200 MT/s at CL16. A CAS number counts cycles rather than time, so a higher clock absorbs a looser one and the two arrive together — which is why these spec sheets look different and the memory does not.
Transfer rate
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB CL18 is rated 3600 MT/s against 3200 MT/s for Timetec Pinnacle Konduit DDR4-3200 2x8GB — 28800 MB/s per module, against 25600 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
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB CL18 ships as 2 × 8GB and Timetec Pinnacle Konduit DDR4-3200 2x8GB ships as 2 × 8GB — the same number of sticks either way, so both populate a board's slots identically.
Voltage
TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB CL18 is specified at 1.45 V and Timetec Pinnacle Konduit DDR4-3200 2x8GB at 1.35 V. That is the supply each kit's published profile asks the board for.
Lighting, timings and ECC
On the lighting question: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB CL18 does not have RGB lighting, and Timetec Pinnacle Konduit DDR4-3200 2x8GB does not have RGB lighting. On the full timing tuple, the numbers that follow CAS: TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB CL18 does not publish one, and Timetec Pinnacle Konduit DDR4-3200 2x8GB runs 16-18-18-38. On error correction: the catalog does not state whether TeamGroup T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4-3600 2x8GB CL18 supports it, and Timetec Pinnacle Konduit DDR4-3200 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
The site holds no current price for at least one of these, so there is no buying answer here; the specifications do not settle it either, since both reconcile to 10.00 ns of true latency. The sections above are what is left to choose on.
