Great product, best quality.

It started right away in the 2nd xmp profile at a frequency of 4000 and works very stably (my mother keeps memory at 4030 in this profile). The first profile turns on at 4133, but in the test, Aida gives errors. I’m sure a knowledgeable person will be able to slightly correct the timings or the voltage and memory will work stably and at such a frequency, but I don’t know how to do this, and I don’t need it at all. I have an msi z390 gaming pro carbon mother. I bought this RAM in order not to try to configure it manually, but by turning on xmp to get the declared speed. I specially took 4133 so that 4000 would definitely work, and it happened. Now only top motherboards take such frequencies, and it’s far from always just by turning on the preinstalled profile, so I think that for such a price this is a very good product with chips from samsung, which a smart person can easily drive up to 4400 (as far as the motherboard allows).
For the price, this is a very worthy purchase. It does not work stably at 4133, but I think at the moment this frequency works stably with extremely expensive RAM, and what's the point of buying RAM for 25-30k, which takes not much higher than the frequency. And with all this, this memory can also be stably overclocked, there is potential. In general, they say it’s better, on the contrary, to lower the frequency a little lower and it will work more quickly, but I don’t know how to do it.

Pros

Wonderful memory. The chips are samsung. Looks very nice on the outside. There are pre-installed xmp profiles for people like me who don't know how to drive memory at all. It cost at the time of purchase 10800 in the 2022. It was possible to take it even cheaper on Amazon, but there the difference was about a thousand, and the delivery would have been no less than 10 days. If you have the opportunity and desire to wait, you can take it there. I recommend to buy.

Cons

A bit tall. I had hyperx before and it's a little lower. Keep this in mind when you purchase, as not every processor cooler will fit. This is not so important to me, since I use only two slats.
