If the 3200mhz is C16 and the 3600mhz is C18, then we should all be recommending the 3200mhz 😮Could be different these days but the 3200MHz Vengeance RAM in my system bought in January 2020 has a CAS Latency of 16
VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Memory Kit - Black
VENGEANCE LPX memory is designed for high-performance overclocking. The heatspreader is made of pure aluminum for faster heat dissipation, and the eight-layer PCB helps manage heat and provides superior overclocking headroom.www.corsair.com

I don’t think you are right about the effects of CL, which I believe amounts to the number of clock cycles delay in accessing memory. This would mean that, all else being equal, CL16 would be about 11% faster than CL18 at the same memory speed. What you would experience in the real world may not be as great. I read on a previous thread that PCS 3200 RAM was CL16, while 3600 was CL18.
There is absolutely not a chance that the real world difference, between CL16 and CL18 is 11%. The clock cycle between them is 11%, but ram contributes little to a systems capability, therefore if it is 10%, the 11% increase would only make it 1.1% better in real terms.
I didn’t say it would be 11% faster in the real world. I was just explaining what the CL means in terms of memory access time. I actually said that you wouldn’t see this in reality.
I know you weren’t saying that, but you said i was wrong, which i don’t believe i am (not based off what i have read anyway).
No you pay the price it is at the time of order
