  • In the desktop space, all of those secondary and tertiary timings being auto-set to something reasonable depends on the specific RAM kit being on that motherboard model’s QVL. I have no idea if something similar is at play here, but if so, it could explain people getting poor results with anything other than 5600 MHz RAM similar to or better than what Framework sells.




  • CL40 is better than CL46. CL stands for CAS Latency, or Column Access Strobe Latency: lower is better.

    That being said, I have yet to see any head-to-head comparison between 5600 CL46 and 5600 CL40 kits. My assumption is that it would be minor in most cases. The primary performance benefit to higher-frequency (and therefore higher-bandwidth) RAM is iGPU performance. I wouldn’t expect that to be terribly latency-sensitive.
