Building a new pc. Settled in on an ASUS Maximus IX Hero Z270 motherboard. I'm also going for G.Skill ram. The G.Skill website has a neat ram configurator page. Drop-downs ask me to choose my motherboard manufacturer, chipset, and model. It then provides a list of compatible ram.

Before I began this process, I had already chosen to go with 8GBx2 DDR4 3200MHz Ripjaws V for no reason other than affordable price. So, I looked down the list G.Skill provided to find Ripjaws V models. Here's where my lack of knowledge failed me. I did indeed find 8GBx2 DDR4 3200MHz Ripjaws V, but in fact I found four of them. The difference among them is their CL number. I sort of know what that is but I thought it was tweakable. I do not know enough to know why I would choose one over the other.

http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator?manu=29&chip=2859&model=2866

These four are all Ripjaws V 8GBx2 models that G.Skill says is compatible with my mother board —
DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600)
16GB (8GBx2)
CL14-14-14-34
1.35 Volt

And here is another —
DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600)
16GB (8GBx2)
CL15-15-15-35
1.35 Volt

And yet another —
DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600)
16GB (8GBx2)
CL16-16-16-36
1.35 Volt

And one last one —
DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600)
16GB (8GBx2)
CL16-18-18-38
1.35 Volt

Why are there four different CL models? Are they the exact same sticks but simply come pre-configured and thus can be re-configured if I choose to do so? Or are they distinctly different thus requiring me to me an informed choice?

I should mention that I am going with i7-7700K cpu.

But ok OP, I'll spoon feed you.

Timings are in nano seconds, memory delay is timing X frequency. Speed is more important than timing, but at the same speed lower timing is better.

If you care about the timings, just get the cl14 one, if you feel like you can get lucky with overclocking/tightening the looser timings, go with those.
