Good Performance, Great Looks

Pros + Unique Aesthetics + 3200MHz + Works with Risecon's "Liquid" Cooling Really nothing makes this ram kit look amazing, there's absolutely no doubt about it. and for gaming or most day-to-day tasks, this RAM will work just fine. In terms of performance, however, I've had no luck overclocking this RAM on an Asus Crosshair Vi Extreme with a Ryzen 2700x. Also, the xmp profiles (docp?) keep thinking it's a 3600 kit and when I try to use those profiles it keeps trying to tune them to 3600MHz which isn't released. There may be a factory defect, but if you manually set the frequency to 3200, there are no problems. Overall not a bad set. but I have to give 3 stars. If the lag wasn't so bad I would give it 5 stars, but with the high price, useless "liquid cooling" marketing and weird xmp issues I can't give it more.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Infinitely Sluggish
