That's really helpful! According to the article, the latency is 15 ns (CL40). Does anyone know how this compares to other RAMs on the market? And are these timings good or bad?

From my experience with different RAM modules, I'd say that a 15 ns latency isn't too shabby. It's not the lowest out there, but it's still quite decent.

Thanks for your input, @chefcella. So, does this mean the timings are okay? And how do these timings impact performance?

Based on what I've read and my personal experience, the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32 GB DDR5-5200 CL40 RAM has good overall performance. However, its latency is considered poor compared to other options available in the market.

Hmm, so it seems like there's a trade-off between effective frequency and latency. I'll definitely keep that in mind while making my decision. Thanks for your insights, everyone!
