Pros: -Uses Samsung B-Die memory chips, highly coveted for overclocking -RGB if you want it, looks nice and works with Aura Sync -great performance, amazing performance when overclocked
Cons: -price, ouch -could probably overclock other, cheaper, B-Die to this frequency -not sure if there is a difference between this DIMM vs the non Ryzen sticks, maybe a marketing thing. They only say it is "optimized" for Ryzen, it would be nice to know what optimization was done.
Overall Review: I purchased this ram set to have the guarantee that I would be able to hit 3200mhs with my 2700x and they did not disappoint. Once the XMP profile was activated I had zero problems running at 3200mhz with good results in benchmarks. Using Ryzen DRAM calculator I set my timings to 3466mhz 14-14-14-28 at 1.385V and it started first try without any issues. I feel confident these could probably even be pushed to 3600mhz without a problem. I have had some issues with the RGB reverting to solid red when resetting or turning off my computer but I have a feeling it may be a driver issue since when I go back into Asus Aura menu and reapply the previous setting it immediately starts working again. Really my only hesitation to recommend this product is the $8 difference between this and F4-3200C14D-16GTZR. Not sure what you are really getting for those eight bucks.
