Review on πŸ’₯ OLOy 16GB DDR4 RAM Kit - High Performance 3600 MHz CL18 for Desktop Gaming - MD4U0836180BHKDA by Daniel Shivashankar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Although I was hoping to get it working with my X570 AORUS MASTER, I almost did!

A very nice price for a good RAM if you ask me and all similar ones even with lower frequency RAM are much more expensive. So I figured - as advertised to work with AMD let me try my X570 AORUS MASTER motherboard which is not cheap at all and I thought it should be compatible (as well as many BIOS updates) so long ago. including for XMP profiles). I almost got lucky with this - since it's the cheapest at around $30-$50 with the nearest 3600MHz onboard RAM most likely working with my motherboard I was still able to get it to work but ONLY with 3 sticks . No matter how I switched and changed positions I couldn't get it to work with all 4 bars - the frequency dropped to the standard 2400MHz (or so) which is unacceptable to me as I wanted at least 3000+ - my previous ram was 3200mhz so switching to 3600mhz is very good! However, I'm happy with how I managed to get a position (a special combination of two sticks that were in the next center position together with another stick) at 3600MHz under a loaded OS! And that's very good for me as I get upgrades in both capacity and frequency: from 3200 to 3600 MHz and from 32GB to 48GB. I also have a spare joystick (in case one of the sticks is burnt or broken or an update comes out that makes it work with all 4!). Again, I would give 5 stars if I could. work, but I absolutely love how this RAM works. Just a bit of a hassle to install - quite thick and difficult to work with, but you don't do it often. Once you install it, you don't care because you don't have to move it back and forth. PS: I did not thoroughly test the RAM, but in general the RAM works stably, I did not notice any problems with them, there are no lags, etc. Everything is clean so far, even after launching and playing the game a couple of times ( which btw sometimes crashed on my previous Vyper 3200MHz RAM - it wasn't ultra stable but in a consistently acceptable way (OS hardware failure was pretty rare).

Pros
  • Compatible with Intel and AMD
Cons
  • Doubtful
