Important to reach the specified speed!

Those who buy this will find that the default speed for this ram after installation is 2133MHz at 1.2 volts. Simple fix: go into your bios and increase clock speed along with voltage in memory settings. (To access the BIOS, repeatedly press a special motherboard key, such as "delete") while the computer is booting up. In the bios you only have this in the advanced settings mode. If you have an XMP profile to run, just do that and it should automatically set the voltage to 1.35 and hold both 3000MHz and stable. If not, do it manually in the bios according to the manufacturer's recommendations for voltage (1.35) and clock speed. So no more bad reviews about a great price due to ignorance of the hardware. Next time, read the description or visit the manufacturer's website before claiming that a product contains false advertising.
