X399 and Threadripper 2950x

If you need memory for Threadripper or X399, this is a great memory. (Always check your motherboard's QVL) I can get stable 3466MHz with these sticks (3600MHz kit), the best speed/price I've found for Threadripper so far. (11/18) Haven't had any problems so far, I'll keep running memtest86 for a while to make sure the flash drives are ok. You look pretty nice too. The only complaint is the branding on the top of the sticks, but it could be worse.

Pros
  • High speed, low latency DDR4 performance
Cons
  • Suitable

Doesn't work with X470 MSI Gaming Plus motherboard

Since I couldn't get a definitive answer before ordering these modules, I ordered the 3600 32GB kit. I only installed them to find that they only run at the much lower default frequency and not one of the XMP profiles listed in my BIOS. Even the "Try it!" reminder routine doesn't work. As I read on I realize that my motherboard is only designed for 3466 and the 3600 kit is not on the QVL list. I suspect this kit is primarily intended for Intel motherboards, not AMD. The information I didn't see

Pros
  • Prebuilt Intel XMP profiles optimized for the latest Intel platforms
Cons
  • Everything is fine

HIGH OC & NICE RGB suitable for computer components

I bought the 3600CL17 kit and I want to tell you. 1.4v and I'm stable on 4000CL17 without much fine tuning. Maybe I could lower the latency or increase the speed if I need a little more time. Great value for money, the lights are good, maybe not as good as some of the other brands but they are very durable and don't suffer from the "washed out" look that some RGB products suffer from. TL; DR: Definitely recommend this particular kit if you want to overclock YMMV even more.

Pros
  • Awesome RGB style
Cons
  • Not bad but...
