Vengeance® LPX 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C16 Memory Kit - Red (CMK4GX4M1A2400C16R)
Vengeance® LPX 4GB (1x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C14 Memory Kit - Red (CMK4GX4M1A2400C14R)

4GB 2400hz C16 is better. C14 is costly compared to C16. It's better to buy 8GB stick which comes for 4.5k

I had the same confusion that's why I asked it here but C14 is faster than C16 at the same price lol, lover the latency the faster the speed would be at same mhz though

@dirtrider007 What is the purpose? The C14 is better (lower latency), and so costlier (as far as I am seeing the prices on eBay and Amazon), but you won't even feel any difference during general purpose or gaming (to a great extent).
If you are getting both at same price point, go with C14 obviously.

Also, do you overclock? What's your CPU? Most of the CPU's (at stock) support 2133MHz memory speed only, so your 2400MHz RAM would actually run at 2133MHz by default.

I wont be ocing and my cpu is g4560 but still id like to go with the best if available at same prices. When i created this thread i had a doubt regarding the latency difference, now i request the mods to close this thread.
@Vineet Sharma please share the link to amazon, i could not find c14 there

thanks everyone
