I am planning to upgrade to 2x16GB from my current 2x8gb ( Ripjaws DDR4 3600 @ 16-19-19 ). I am trying to find used b-die since there are no new ones available anymore. But its very hard to find one atleast in my country.
So I am thinking about settling at 3600 C18 kit. Is there any noticeable different if i go from c16 to c18 at 3600mhz? Is it worth to waste more time finding c16 kit now a days?

Not really, you pay more for 2 ns.

You might get 1.3% better framerates in CPU bound games. Or something along those lines. Huge difference, very noticeable.
In all seriousness - the difference will be margin of error.
