Memory timing C36, C30, and C28 – what do these mean? Which one is more suitable at a frequency of 6000MHz?

When assembling or upgrading a computer, we often see memory modules labeled with parameters like “DDR5-6000 CL36” and “DDR5-6000 CL30.” The “6000” represents the memory frequency (MHz), while “CL36” and “CL30” are abbreviations for “CAS Latency,” which is commonly referred to as “timings.”

So, what’s the difference between C36, C30, and C28? How do they affect performance when frequencies are the same? And how should you choose? Let’s discuss this topic in detail today.
