Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

on mat. The Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac BIOS 3.70 + Ryzen 5 3600 board with XMP profile didn't start, it turned out to start with timings from XMP and lowering the frequency to 3466. The result is partially expected, because compatibility is not officially declared with this chipset (only X570). There are also options for rolling back the BIOS to the previous version and games with timings . DRAM Ryzen Calculator did not help, but maybe not all of the proposed parameters were correctly applied.

Pros
  • appearance, speed and timings.
Cons
  • base speed according to SPD 2133, according to XMP 3600, so if the memory does not start on the XMP profile, then the frequencies and timings must be selected manually.

Working quad - X299 R6E/WS X299 SAGE with Core i9-7900X/7980XE

my sticks 2 pairs - quad on ASUS ROG RAMPAGE VI EXTREME with Intel Core i9-7900X processor / 7980XE processors. Good range, low voltage. Four channels: 2666MHz 14-14-14-34-1T 1.18V 2800MHz 14-14-14-34-1T 1.20V 3000MHz 14-14-14-34-1T 1.22V 3200MHz 14-14-14-34 -1T 1.24V 3400MHz 15-15-15-35-1T 1.26V 3600MHz 16-16-16-36-1T 1.28V 3800MHz 17-17-17 - 37-1T 1.30V 4000MHz 18-18- 18-38-1T 1.35V4200MHz can no longer work. Maybe my IMC processor is the limit. 7900X with 4000MHz CL18 1.35V 7980XE with…

Pros
  • Timings CL19 (19-19-19-39) at 1.4V
Cons
  • Something else

Doesn't reach advertised speeds, support is useless

When I bought these I knew there wouldn't be a single click to reach the maximum overclock. My motherboard is rated for 4500 RAM, so that's not a problem. That being said, after over a week and hours of testing timings, voltages, slots, speeds, sticks (ordered two of them), bioses and even various 8700k and 9900k processors and every configuration imaginable, I was never able to load past 3900MHz. I contacted manufacturer support and emailed for a week. They didn't have any useful information…

Pros
  • Specially designed for the Intel Z270 Kaby Lake platform
Cons
  • Long wait

Works with ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero Z390 / i9-9900k

Works with BOIS timings (SPD) and voltage (1.2V). To get the advertised performance, you need to tweak the DDR4 clock, timing, and voltage (some reviewers didn't). Usage is printed on the packaging; CL19-19-19-19 v1.40 I was only able to get 4000 (instead of 4266) which is really good when I read the reviews. Mo/Bo only fits 4266 OC. Using the published timings and voltages, the memory runs more or less stably at 3900MHz. Keep in mind I only use two memory sticks and all QVL DDR4 4266 and 4400…

Pros
  • Memory clock 4266MHz, PC4-34100, 288 pins per module
Cons
  • Price
