RAM is way behind

Not sure if the seller knows about this but these RAM sticks are out of spec. I'm not blaming them for intentionally selling bad RAM, but the RAM provided to me is far inferior. Normal XMP motherboard profile (no manual overclocking) causes games to crash after hours. I've tried OC and get instant crashes for anything above the XMP frequency. I'm not as prolific a player as I used to be; Because of this, it took me some time to connect the RAM issues to the game crashing. This is just a fair warning. I'm sure Z Royal RAMs are great sticks; I'm just suspicious of these sellers. In any case, if you decide to buy it, just test memtest86 extensively. Unfortunately, you can't trust enthusiastic third-party products, especially at this price point. I lost my chance to return, don't lose yours...

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Doubtful
