Hello everyone, I'm looking to upgrade my system memory, I currently have one kit 2x8gb cl16 3600mhz, I have 4 slot in my motherboard (msi mag mortar 550m wifi).

I found that CL16 kits are priced in the 90-100 euro range (Amazon germany) while the CL18 kits are priced in the 60-75 euro range. So I'm writing wondering if buying a CL18 kit would be downgrade in speed? And whether it would be noticeable or not?

Unless you already have the CL18 and you're switching to CL16, and you also know exactly what to look for, you won't notice a difference.

Besides, increasing the amount of memory will be much more noticeable anyway.
