Review on SP 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 Turbine RAM - 3200MHz UDIMM Desktop Memory Module by Silicon Power (PC4 25600) - CL16, 1.35V (SP016GXLZU320BDA) by Darrell Shreves

Cheap RAM internals

I've had an rgd 2x8gb kit with docp profile on 3200mhz for over 2 years and I'm dealing with terrible coil whine caused by the LEDs (reducing the brightness helped) . I finally went behind two more 8GB sticks and now my system won't even boot unless the memory speed is set to 2333MHz or lower so I requested a replacement, assuming they were just bad sticks, and after an hour of tweaking all the same result, i said forget it and just put 2 new sticks back in and speed up again. Turns out they can't even run at their nominal 3200MHz with only 2, so I just reverted the original pair to 3200MHz and it worked on the first try. but it still broke the speed ratings. I'm selling back all 4 new bearings and selling my original 2 and just buying a few genuine branded sticks. Features: Ryzen 2700, Asus b450 games
