Updated review in my review

[Edit} 3 years later, this ram is performing better that before, since I have upgraded to a processor with a better memory controller. I was able to Overclock this ram to 3733mts CL16-19-19-40. This is much better performance than advertised.and once again this is with 4 Dimms/sticks. It's earned an extra star.Check your QVL list, your motherboard might need a bios update if it was early manufacture.It's single Rank ram, one memory controller per stick. Dual rank with 2 memory controllers per stick would gve 2-3% better performance at the same speeds. I bought 4 stcks to run in two different computers and it ran fne, but not at the rated speeds, but then again I was running it on Zen+ and 3rd gen Ryzens. I upgraded my sisters machine to 32gb and reclaimed those two sticks and added them to mine so I gained dual rank 32GB but it wouldn't run at rated speeds of course with XMP 1 or 2 (probably not in the QVL for my motherboard). I had to manually clock them. They were almost stable at 3200 C16 which is a latency of 10 (3600 C18 is also a latency of 10). I couldn't go faster without loosening up the timings to the point it hurt performance. If you can't go up in speed? Try going down in the timings. 2933 C14 (starting point) is a latency of 9.5 better but not there yet. With the same squeeky tight timings I was able to achieve 3133MHZ C14 with rock stability which is a latency of 8.9 (with 4 sticks which is inherently less stable than 2 sticks). I'm satisfied with the performance but I had to play with it to get the best result I had a right to expect. Faster ram choices in the budget range in January 2020 were not plentiful. I bought what fit the budget. We are practically in a golden age of DDR4 ram right now so you have more choices. This is not bad ram it just wasn't best experience plug and play for me. It was certainly value for the money at the tme but My ram overclocking or setting knowledge was lacking. I hope my experience helps someone else.
