Check for BIOS compatibility and updates.

Large capacity, good timings and fast RAM. Might be the Z170 PCH, but I had to first disable XMP in the BIOS, then uninstall my previous kit, then install, then reinstall XMP. Otherwise everything worked on my main machine right away. Just wanted to try it out before building the system they are intended for. Once I got to my other system, another story. The X99 PCH appeared to be running an old BIOS with no support for 16GB memory modules. I had to find an updated BIOS for the firmware in order for the system to boot with this kit. Not a product complaint but definitely something important to consider before you buy. Check support and compatibility. You may have to do some hard work to get your system to accept the phrase. I'm sure that will change as these high capacity kits last longer.

Pros
  • Cas Latency, 16 Timing 16-18-18-38
Cons
  • Good, but not great
