Poor RAM quality for the price. Does not drive at the stated speed. YMMV.

Expected more from GSkill, never had a problem with it in the past. Bought two sets of these and each of the 4 sticks had different timings and IC configurations. Low quality Hynix matrix. Returned both sticks within the suggested time frame after repeated problems running at rated speed. Please note that my motherboard is an ASUS ROG Strix B-550 XE with the latest BIOS. This RAM was listed as supported for my motherboard. Maybe I just have a bad batch. I'm aware that a certain percentage of all components get damaged through no fault of the manufacturer, according to YMMV. That being said, I sent them back and ordered a Crucial Ballistix instead. I hope the Micron crystal offers the best performance for my motherboard and configuration. I'll probably give GSkill another chance to redeem in the future. Rated 3/5.
