Review on 💾 G.Skill Flare X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 CL14-14-14-34 1.35V Dual Channel Desktop Memory (PC4-25600) Model F4-3200C14D-16GFX by Jeff Hall

This amazing kit. I have two of these and both sets (total 32GB) work 100% stable on the same system. Prior to purchasing two of these kits I had a Corsair LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3000MHz CL 16 and couldn't get anywhere near rated speeds or even run the system consistently above 2400MHz. I'd love to cram the RAM into the advertised CL 14-14-14-14-34 (you can use one set, not two), but the memory controller on the Ryzen processor won't allow it (yet). Maybe future bios updates will allow me to do this. Using a kit I was able to consistently increase the processor frequency from 3.9GHz (1.38V) to 100% and reduce the memory latency to CL 14-14-14-14-28 (1.35V) at the advertised 3200MHz. With two kits (equivalent to 32 GB) I was able to overclock it to 3600 MHz CL 16-18-18-18-35 (1.4 V) and use it for overclocking. I chose the following configurations as they give me 100% stability for my needs without putting too much strain on my hardware and a well balanced system. Anything above the clock speed mentioned below (especially the CPU) only runs stable in benchmarks, most games and simple applications. It doesn't run 100% stable in "intensive" applications (software I use daily that takes 100% of my entire system).

Changing the memory frequency to higher than 3200MHz or changing the delay made no significant difference. UPDATE: I've been playing around with my system and doing some fine tuning. To get both kits running at the advertised speeds and reduced latencies, I increased the CPU voltage to 1.38125V. This allowed me to run 32GB of this 3200MHz RAM CL 14-14-14-14-28-42 100% run stable. All other settings remain as above. The Cinebench score has increased to an average of 1705. Everything works great with no crashes.
