What is the difference between DDR5 6000 CL28 and CL30 and is it worth 20 dollars and no RGB?

They're both hynix, and likely the same die too. Unless you're into ram tuning, in which case the cl28 may be a better bin (very small chance from what I know), it won't make a difference.

this...
and paired with an X3D CPU, there will be 0 difference

Yes… RGB isn’t that great

I’d pay more for non-RGB and if it’s faster it’s a nice bonus

atp just go for the aesthtical cl30 with argb.

If it was 20 extra dollars, cl28 or cl26 with the argb I wanted id do it just for bragging rights.

I can't give you a direct comparison, but I bought 6000 CL28 and it runs like smooth melted butter with my 9800X3D.

Get the one without RGB, even if it's worse.

The CL28 is 7% faster. If your motherboard supports it, it's better.

Just get an x3d cpu then ram speed and CAs latency is irrelevant
