Review on Timetec 64GB DDR4 3600MHz PC4-28800 CL18 Non-ECC Unbuffered Gaming Memory Module Upgrade by Nathan Akers

This kit outperforms most competitors in its price range. At the time of purchase, the next cheapest kit with the same rating was $20 more expensive, with established brands expecting a premium of at least $40 over Timetec. I'll admit that brands have dropped prices since then, and you can pick up the G.Skill F4-3600C18D-32GVK at NewEgg for just $130. That's only $10 more for most likely the exact same PCBs and the exact same modules, but with some aesthetic heatsinks on top; if it was any other day of the week, I could put in an extra Hamilton, even though I'm a complete curmudgeon. But the truth is they don't need heatsinks. They handle 1.55 V like never before and reach peak values of 48 °C under load. unfortunately they also treat 1.55V as a trifle. Hynix CJRs are quite notorious for their tRCD/tRPs that hardly scale with voltage, if at all. The same goes for the overall overclocking headroom in this kit. I was able to load 3867@18-22-22-42 with my 7700k, but my best *stable* OC was 3733@15-21-21-40. Don't expect to get much more from them than they are already guaranteed. That being said, 3600 @ 18-22-22-42 XMP is primarily a no-brainer for a 2x16GB kit. (By the way, this kit's profile works fine at 1.35V) If you're using a Z270/370/390/490 or X370/470/570 board and don't have an absolute memory controller. In your processor, this kit connects quickly and works. All in all, this is a great kit at a competitive price. Whatever the case, if $10 stands between you and some damp radiators, follow your heart. But don't expect a huge difference compared to Timetec in terms of overclocking unless they're rocking some premium B-Dies under those fancy branding logos.
