CL30 RAM
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- If it's costing only 5 euros extra, then it's better to get CL30.
- X3D won't be hurt as badly by slower RAM because of the larger cache, but for 5 euros, I'd just get the faster kit
- 10ns first word latency, whereas the same speed at CL36 will be a 12ns first word latency. It will make very little difference with average FPS, but can help your 1% lows
- But for the same price definitely get cl30
- Microcenter also usually bundles sub-standard CL36 RAM compared to standard CL30. While usually not a big difference, when we're nitpicking FPS - it may cost you 1-3.
Cons
- Even a CL36 RAM will work just fine, you don't need to spend the extra on CL30 RAM, so save some money there.

CL30 is the best you can get. If you say it costs just a bit more for you, go for that.
for 5€ I would get it, but is not a big deal the difference.
