I haven't bought ram in forever and I saw CL 38. I was like isn't that slow. Sure enough "Most DDR5 modules have CL40 CAS latency, which negates DDR5's high clock speeds; It's faster at completing tasks, but it takes longer for the RAM to register it needs to perform a task. So, that DDR4-3200 CL20 RAM will have snappier performance than a DDR5-4800 CL40 module." but I think it's all relative to the speed of the motherboard. So if you didn't pay high dollar for a mother board this ram is gonna be just fine.
DDR latency hasn't changed much in a long time. CL is in units of clocks and since the clock rate is much higher that's why the CL has risen. The biggest benefit from newer DRAM tech like DDR5 is burst speed. That's why CPUs have large caches.
It says desktop memory in the title lol

If the $39 extra is of no concern to you, I'd go with the Corsair Vengeance. It looks like it has a 5600MHz vs 5200MHz and a CAS Latency of 36 vs 38 here. A higher clock speed (in the post you linked it has 5600MHz) will allow your computer to run faster/more efficiently. A lower CAS Latency (36 on the corsair vengeance) will reduce the time necessary to start reading data. In human comparisons (not sure if this is accurate) CAS Latency or CL would be your reaction speed (lower number is better) and the clock speed (MHz) would be how fast you can process information and formulate a solution. I'm no expert by the way, I just looked at google real quick. I think for a 39% price increase, the Corsair Vengeance is likely not worth it since the performance difference would be pretty minimal. I don't think the average person would honestly notice. If you have extra money, I would definitely look at the DDR5 6000MHz range at least.

Thanks super helpful. The $39 extra isn't a deal breaker and looking to future proof this build as much as possible.

I just bought Vengeance 4800 version for 120$ (2 x 16), about a month ago, for new build pc with i7-12700k and z690 mb. it works fine, but to tell you the truth - i dont see any difference between this build and my 6 year old pc with i7-8th gen, and DDR3 ram on it..
Maybe it will behave better on heavy load applications or games, but for regular jobs - no difference at all.. So I am not sure this 4800mhz-5000mhz-5600mhz will be even noticeable for regular non heavy workload..

I have a 10 year old i7 pc that still does everything but the latest games super fast. These new gen cpu/ram setups are basically only going to shine if you are doing like 4k/120fps games and also have a huge honking GPU.

Agree with all the things about RAM speeds, but the point about motherboard is wrong. Any motherboard that doesn't actively impede RAM performance (i.e. bad electrical traces) will allow the RAM module to perform up to its potential so long as the motherboard supports the rated speed. You really have to get a sub $100 motherboard with bad traces for you to see the RAM not performing at its rated speeds despite the Mobo claiming it does.

You are correct in that MOST daily routine office tasks will see little to no perceivable improvement at all.

Need to look for SO-DIMM buddy
