What is CL value on RAM?

CL means cas latency, it tells you how many clock cycles it takes for a certain piece of data to be available after the memory controller requested it from the RAM.

What CL is better for RAM?

A CL range of 14-16 is typical for 3200 MHz RAM, whereas a CL range of 15-19 is typical for 3600 MHz RAM. The former one has a larger range, whereas the latter one falls behind. This means that, although it has greater memory speed, a CL14 3200 MHz RAM will outperform a CL18 3600 MHz RAM.

Do you want higher or lower CL on RAM?

The higher the speed, and the lower the CL, the better the overall performance.

Should RAM CL match?

Yes, but it is not recommended because the Mobo will choose to run the RAM modules at the lowest speed between the RAM modules that you have installed.

Is 16 CAS Latency good?

DDR4 3200 CAS 16 is still well within the range of ‘fine’ but it’s slower. You’d have to pay attention to both numbers.

Is CAS latency 16 good?

What is CL16 in RAM?

A RAM kit with a CAS of 16 takes 16 RAM clock cycles to complete this task. The lower the CAS latency, the better. CAS latency can be referred to in several different ways. A RAM kit with a CAS latency of 16, for example, can be described as CAS 16 or CL16 or as having CAS 16 timings.

Can I mix cl15 and CL16 RAM?

Yes you can. However your PC will only run at 2133 despite the ram thar you got is 2400.

What is command rate (CMD) parameter in memory?

So, this parameter limits when the memory can start reading (or writing) a different row. Command Rate (CMD): It is the time taken by the memory chip from being activated (through its CS – Chip Select – pin) and when any command can be issued to the memory.

What is the difference between Ram Cl2 and CL4?

It is the number of clock cycles that pass from when an instruction is given for a particular column and the moment the data is available. So basically RAM with CL2 may be twice as fast as RAM with CL4. I say “may be” because there are other factors involved, but you really want to get RAM with as low a CL number as possible.

What are the two parameters that affect RAM speed?

Other Parameters Impacting RAM Timings Let’s take a better look at the other two parameters, Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS) and Command Rate (CMD). As with the other parameters, these two parameters work with the memory real clock (which is half of the memory labeled clock). The lower these parameters, the faster the memory will be.

How to calculate memory latency with CL = 7?

A memory with CL = 7 will provide a 22.2% improvement on memory latency over a memory with CL = 9, considering that both are running at the same clock rate. You can even calculate the time the memory delays until it starts delivering data. The period of each clock cycle can be easily calculated through the formula: T = 1 / f
