Review on G.Skill Trident Z RGB Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR4 3200 CL16-18-18-38 1.35V Quad Channel Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16Q-32GTZR by Brandon Patterson

Latency 87 ns = CAS16 (at 3200)?

I measured the RAM latency using CPU benchmarks and it was around 87 ns. To be honest I didn't know what to expect. I've seen other tests near 50ns but I believe they must have used a different type of RAM module. My motherboard had no problem selecting the settings for this RAM and it has been running stably since I installed it. I'm not interested in further tweaking the timings for this RAM, but I'm curious if anyone else has measured the latency and got similar numbers to mine. I give it 5 stars for the hassle free installation and expected working(?). I'm using this on a Threadripper 2950x and when I switch to game mode the latency drops to 70 ns (also the bandwidth drops by 2) which is also as expected. I'll be using this memory in Creator mode (all 16 cores) and the latency is higher, but I'm happy to know the memory is working fine.
