It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

It is installed in the MSI X570-A-PRO system with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 BOX processor and a boxed cooler.
In theory, the processor supports a maximum of 3533 MHz memory. But this one easily wound up at 3600 MHz with CL16 timings simply by selecting the option in the BIOS via Memory Try-It. I haven’t even tried to disperse it yet, laziness and not why, I have enough, although there is clearly potential. The same DRAM Calculator for Ryzen offers overclocking to 3800 MHz with CL16 timings and a voltage of only 1.39-1.4 V. Peer-to-peer memory with Hynix CJR (Hynix C-die) chips with 18 nm technology, which are not driven perfectly, but better than many others.

Pros

Sufficiently fast, very beautiful, reliable memory. It's nice to hold in your hands. Feels like metal. Supports backlight control software from all major motherboard manufacturers. This memory has also been tested for compatibility with boards from major manufacturers based on the latest chipsets. There is also Thermaltake's own RGB control software, a built-in temperature sensor and the ability to link color indication to the temperature of the modules. The manufacturer is reliable, there is a page on the site for this module, "firm '", and not some kind of junk. The price is not overpriced for such quality and performance.

Cons

Not the best XMP timings. It is understandable, there they are designed so that the memory works for them with anything. The height of the modules is 50 mm. It may interfere with installing a massive CPU cooler. But there is always a dilemma, either a large cooler or beautiful memory with RGB and heatsinks. Although, you can solve this problem, if you have handles. The dissipative plastic with diodes and the steel plate are removed from one module and glued to the outermost module, which is farther from the processor and does not interfere with the installation of the cooler, then the height of the near module becomes the standard 35 mm, and it will still not be visible under the cooler. As indicated by the manufacturer, it supports Intel X299 , 300 , 200 , 100 Series, AMD X570 chipsets. Although 100% will work on younger AMD chipsets, but not the fact that at 3600 MHz, it depends more on the processor.
