G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel Z170 / Z270 / Z370 / X299 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16Q-32GTZSW

Pros: The black and white + brushed aluminum looks great and matches my Define R5 / MSI B350 Krait Gaming build perfectly!

Cons: N/A - You Want Cons Well Look No Further As My Cons Are All User Error (--_--) Read Below.

Overall Review: Based on QVL (Qualified Vendor List)......(which I recently found out was a thing)......this RAM is performing as it should. (I thought all DDR4 ram was compatible with boards that ran off of DDR4...AM3+ noob here). My dumb_ss didn't know about QVL at the time and rushed to buy this awesome looking kit that had great reviews from other users running Ryzen chips. What's wrong? This kit is model: F4-3200C16D-16GTZKW ($134.99). My motherboard is MSI's B350 Krait Gaming which has support for model: F4-3200C14D-16GTZKW (179.99) That one number is the difference between 2933Mhz and 3200Mhz (The Rated Speed / What I Paid For) You may not have even realized it but, one kit is 3200C14, the kit I purchased is Kit 3200C16. The best advice I can give to users new to the AM4 platform, check QVL listings (Found under you RAM's Manufacturer's website Ex: https://gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14d-16gtzkw then click on the QVL tab. Even though their own website isn't updated, listing that it supports certain Ryzen motherboards, it does. Go here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-KRAIT-GAMING.html#support-mem-2 then hit (CTRL+F and copy and paste this: F4-3200C14D-16GTZKW) See, it's supported, meaning you should be able to achieve the rated 3200Mhz.

Pros: - Ran at advertised 3200 14-14-14-34 1T out of the box flawlessly on my new 1700 + Asus B350-F combo. - A perfectly acceptable and somewhat cheaper alternative to the Flare-X series. - A non-RGB alternative!!!

Cons: I have experienced no cons with this memory kit. At all.

Overall Review: *insert obligatory DDR4 price complaint here* Not much more to be said. I have not had any problems with this memory at all. Works at advertised speeds. If you're looking for a Samsung B-die kit for Ryzen and don't want to spend extra for RGB or other brand names, look no further.

Pros: Massive heat sink, I guarantee it will not bend like the old sticks. Cool and Fast No problem fit when using Corsair Hydro 115i on your CPU

Cons: If you are going to use a CPU fan, it might get in the way.

Overall Review: The large size might give you a false impression it is seated all the way in the motherboard. Just be sure you hear the click when seating.

Pros: The 8gb stick that worked ran like a champ!

Cons: now I'm down a PC while I wait for RMA - You guys should really do cross shipping. would have been nice to get a new pair of sticks and a return label before I sent the ones I had back. I had to pay return shipping AND be down a machine for a week.

Overall Review: On the bright side the RMA process was straight forward. Just would have been nice to not be dead in the water for a week.

Pros: - Well built, feels solid - Got 3200Mhz no problem with XMP - Works with latest Intel i5

Cons: - It didn't improve my self confidence...

Overall Review: - Highly recommend - No really, it's awesome memory

Pros: I've turned off XMP and got 4000Mhz 17-17-17-32 at 1.4 V. With overclocked secondary timings: read ~61000MB/s write ~61000MB/s copy ~57000MB/s latelcy ~ 43ns

Cons: a little bit overpriced

Overall Review: Perfect kit of two 16Gb modules.

Pros: Works great on my in my Ryzen 3600 X570 mobo build. Good price for the quality. Using it in a MSI MPG Gaming Plus Mobo with no issues. You have to switch it off of Jedec and into XMP in order to get the 3200 clock speeds.

Cons: nothing other than maybe no RGB but for this price who cares?

Pros: First off, I'm running this on Asrock X370 Killer with Ryzen 7 1700. Ryzen is mildly OC'd to 3.7 ghz. This RAM is stable at XMP profile 3333 CL14, using the 1.35V value. Faster than advertised, very happy. AIDA64 tested stabled. Converted lots of videos via handbrake stable. And gaming stable.

Cons: Wasn't free. Got this for $209 now it's sold out at that price

Overall Review: stop messing with the CL16 kids. The CL16 DDR4 3200 kits are not Samsung B Die and best I could get was 3066 mhz, again at the slower CL16. Save yourself headaches and pay a little more for this kit.
