Difference Between These RAMs...

Hi all

I already have 16Gb of G.Skill F4-3600C16D-16GTZR

I am looking for another 16Gb but it seems very expensive still.

I have seen this RAM G.Skill F4-3600C16D-16GTZNC, but I can't see what the difference is between the two...

Is there anything I am missing?

Cheers

Is one not "optimised" for Ryzen?

Does that make a difference?

Nope just marketing spiel.
The F4-3600C16D-16GTZR actually has tigher primary timings.

I would say it's not really just marketing spiel, mostly, but not all.

Now RAM makers are actually putting in work to make RAM work better with Ryzen, XMP was always an Intel standard, so it will, or should, be a bit better to work with on a Ryzen system.
