Only for crazy people

The installation process on the ASUS Prime X570-PRO board went well, the sticks held up well but it was a bit difficult to install properly. They fit snugly, wobble a bit, but other than that they work perfectly. Beautiful RGB LED lighting. Works stably in DOCP 3600 profile under extreme load with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor. Failed the RAM test on first power up, had to perform a soft reset in the BIOS to set the correct profile before the motherboard cleared the memory test. Windows 10 reports that the memory is running at the expected 3600 MHz. CL18 is slow traffic in LA, so this RAM isn't designed for gaming, although in real-world benchmarks we're only talking about 2-4% average FPS variance. I use it to run virtual machines and Lightroom. Combined with a pair of PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives for system and data partitions, my computer runs incredibly smooth. Windows 10 Pro loads instantly, apps open instantly. DOOM requires 4MB of RAM and I currently have 131,072MB. Who's laughing now?
