Good ram but worth it. ?

I really like them, I haven't delved into OC yet. They have some weight and they look good. My only problem that bothered me for a few days was that it wasn't enough to deduct a star, although I wanted it because of the price, I assumed it would be grey/black/some kind of box with foam . When I saw the box I was a bit disappointed until I opened and held one of the lamb sticks and was delighted. I'm happy with this product but 1 tiny frown I thought they come in a nice, convenient (even if they're cheap) box. It's not like this. * 06/04/2020: Update coming in the coming weeks. * 06/09/2020: Rated speed is listed as 3200 but when using "Thaiphoon" I noticed that it says "Speed Level: DDR4-2133" so this RAM could run at 3200, but I could not do either because of motherboard + chipset / performance nor because of RAM limitation. Will update in a month or 2. * June 11, 2020: The rated speed of this RAM is 2133, which means the MAX RANGE is 2132! .I think it's either a junk chip or a fake hype 3200, after a few hours I could only get 1562.9x2 so it's only 3125 at 1.35 volts if more and my system crashes. (*Update: Speed stable at 2800) Removed 1 star for false advertising and another star for limiting RAM bandwidth without overclocking. My 2x16GB kit is cheaper and the OC is close to 3200, close. I'm still keeping them, but I'll be more careful with the Any Ram company in the future!* June 23, Closing post: I like this ram because of the way it looks. The software looks like it was developed by a 12-year-old kid with a college computer who has access to his software. it works. But it's terrible. On reboot it stays programmed, on power cycle it doesn't (why can't companies add a damn chip to store settings, is 1MB too much to store settings? RAM doesn't go above 2800 no matter how many volts I put into it .Very unstable at higher speeds.Final conclusion.Don't buy this ram kit.Don't give your money to Gskill.If they were honest on the front lines about speeds and common ram failures,seriously in 2020,tear me down, but don't lie to my face. DO RESEARCH. If you've got the money and want something nice, go ahead. Don't expect good grades. Spend a little more for a higher frequency or stay away from the "" Trident" brand. Seriously. Don't buy. I'll leave my wands. But. don't buy. In terms of performance, I took a big hit at the screaming cute ram. I've learned my lesson. You should too.
