3000mhz CL 15-16-16-35 vs 3200mhz CL 16-18-18-38. Which is better?

Solution
IF you have an x470 board (not 100% sure with an x370 boards were more finicky with the faster ram)

this would work (according to the reviews.. its CL 16 but 3200 Mhz ram.. I doubt getting the faster 3600 would matter at all.. so if you need the light up ram.. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820232476 this should be a good one.

OR for the better ram https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232485 with RGB (CL 14) so faster for sure but still 3200 MHZ IF I had to have RGB ram I would do that one.. even though its more expensive.. the CL between 14 and 16 is not that noticeable in real life unless you are running something that is memory intensive. BUT for at least myself.. I go with the best...

BUT for at least myself.. I go with the best option if I can that is natively supported by the board and its the best of both worlds with Ryzen CPUs from my point of view..
